THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
The Tribune is conceded by eminent men in this country and Europe to be “The Leading American Newspaper.” It is now spending more labor and money than ever before to deserve that pre-eminence. It secured and means to retain it by becoming the medium of the best thought and the voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freest discussion, hearing all sides, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and refusing to cater to the tastes of the vile or the prejudices of the ignorant.
Premiums for 1879–80—Extraordinary Offers.
The Tribune has always dealt liberally with its friends who have used their time and influence in extending its circulation, but it now announces a Premium List surpassing in liberality any heretofore offered by any newspaper. We take pleasure in calling attention to the following:
THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE,
Being the last (1879) edition of Chambers’s Encyclopædia, a Dictionary of Universal Knowledge for the People, complete and Unabridged, with large additions upon topics of special interest to American readers, in twenty volumes, the first fourteen comprising the exact and entire text of Chambers’s Encyclopædia, omitting only the cuts, and the last six containing several thousand topics not found in the original work, besides additional treatment of many there presented. This portion is designed to meet the special wants of American readers, supplying the natural deficiencies of the English work.
The twenty volumes will actually contain over 12 per cent. more matter than Appletons’ Cyclopædia, which sells at eighty dollars!
