This booklet is based on The Encyclopaedia Britannica. If you have found
it interesting and entertaining, you will find the Britannica a source
of inexhaustible interest and enjoyment. This booklet contains
sixty-five thousand words; the Britannica over forty-four million. This
booklet is a guide to a single trip; the Britannica will be your guide
to any trip you want to take to any part of the world. And the best part
of it is that you don't have to leave your own fireside to go to the
four corners of the globe.
With the Britannica you may make your tours as extensive as you like,
without effort and without expense. You may visit the great capitals of
Europe--London, Paris, Rome,--or the venerable cities of the
east--Bokhara, Calcutta, Pekin, to name a few,--or even such
out-of-the-way places as Kamchatka and Tahiti. But you will also wish to
use the Encyclopaedia Britannica as a guide in your business, your
profession or your hobby. In every activity of life, whether it pertains
to industry, commerce, science, art, sport or recreation, the
Encyclopaedia Britannica will furnish you on demand, at the very moment
when you want it, the most readable, entertaining and authoritative
information available in English or any other language.
