Excerpt from The Standard Dictionary of Facts: History, Language, Literature, Biography, Geography, Travel, Art, Government, Politics, Industry, Invention, Commerce, Science, Education, Natural History, Statistics and Miscellany

OF facts - which has since found a place in upward of half a million American homes. This immense circulation would seem to be conclusive that a work of this type meets with the intelligent approval of a large contingent of the book-buying public. There is additional evidence, however, that the demand for comprehensive, concise, reliable, up-to-date, books of reference and instruction, in almost every department of knowledge, is becoming more insistent. And it is in consequence of this demand, as well as the desire Of the editor to enlarge and im prove and Standardize his original plan, that the present work has been prepared.

The present work is in no sense a revision of the Old one - which, practically, has never been revised. It has been built entirely anew, guided by the defects and limitations of the Old one, to be sure, but chiefly in the light of the advances of the past eight years. It is divided into Ten Books, covering the entire range of general knowledge, so classified as to bring to the reader or consulter the essentials of many diverse subjects in the most direct and expeditious manner. Numerous tabulations have been introduced which in themselves will be found valuable substitutes for volumes, even, along the same lines.
