Excerpt from Johnson's New Universal Cyclopedia, Vol. 3: A Scientific and Popular Treasury of Useful Knowledge, Illustrated With Maps, Plans, and Engravings, Lichfield-R (Testimonials on Last Pages of the First Volume)Without such liberality, indeed, the execution of the work would have been im possible. In order to secure the co-operation Of the more than five hundred eminent writers who have contributed articles upon subjects in which their special studies and investigations have made them authorities, an expenditure has been required which is without any precedent in the history of such publications. The Publishers, however, have never doubted that whatever outlay should be found to add to the intrinsic value of the work would be amply compensated by the increased demand for it on the part of an appreciative public, and the subscriptions hitherto taken, over when only two of the four volumes were published, have fully justified this belief.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
