Book Description
Excerpt from Concise Dictionary of Religious Knowledge and Gazetteer The Editor-in-chief returns his heartfelt thanks to his associates, the Rev. Dr. Chambers and the Rev. Professor Foster, for their eo-operation, which has enabled him to produce a book characterized by accurate scholarship and adaptability to present needs. He also thanks the Rev. F. M. Bird for his numerous biographical sketches, and Mr. Clemens Petersen, who has been the office editor, and whose labors appear on well-nigh every page. Nor would he forget to thank, in this connection, the gentlemen who have contributed the denominational and other leading articles. For its typographical correctness it is indebted to the care and skill of the readers of the Burr Printing House. The object of the book is to furnish, in concise form, information upon biblical, archaeological, ecclesiastical, and historical topics. Hence the vocabu lary has been purposely made very large, and most of the articles very condensed. In order to save valuable space, and also to present readable sketches, those denominations which belong together have been brought under one head, and such articles have been entrusted invariably to a representative man.
