A New Edition of a Great Work.

THE SCHAFF-HERZOG

ENCYCLOPÆDIA OF RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE.

Editor: PHILIP SCHAFF, D. D., LL. D.,

Associate Editors: SAMUEL M. JACKSON and Rev. D. S. SCHAFF, Assisted by a large Corps of Eminent Scholars in Europe and America.

The first announcement of this great work awakened no little enthusiasm among scholars in all English-speaking countries. Its basis is the great "German Herzog Encyclopædia," edited by Drs. Herzog, Platt, and Hauck, assisted by some hundreds of the best known of European scholars. The Herzog is universally admitted to be, beyond all comparison, standard and authoritative in all departments of Biblical and Ecclesiastical learning. The German work is issued in many volumes and is distinctively German. Dr. Schaff clearly saw that a mere translation of the immense work would not answer the wants of the American and English readers. Many of the articles are very long, and of comparatively little interest outside of Germany, and the department of English and American church history and biography is, naturally, too limited. The Schaff-Herzog is not a translation, but an adaption of all the important German articles, with a large number of new articles, comprising a considerable part of the whole. These new articles have been prepared by scores of the ablest American and English scholars. Thus, beyond that of any other work, The Schaff-Herzog is the joint product of the scholarship of the world. It is an entire library of Biblical and Theological knowledge.

Few works have received such universal indorsement :-
PROF. HOWARD OSGOOD, D.D., Rochester Theo. Seminary, says:
It is a very great advance beyond any similar publication hitherto
made in America."

PROF. W. J. MANN, D.D., Luth. Theo. Seminary, Phila., says:
"I know of no work in the English language that could in any way
compare with it."

DAVID SWING, D.D., Chicago, says:

"It is the first great work of its class in our language the field of religion what the Britannica' is to general knowledge." NOAH PORTER, D.D., Ex-President of Yale College, says:

it is in

"I do not hesitate to recommend the Schaff-Herzog as a work that will meet the wants of clergymen in an eminent degree." THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES says:

"There is no other work in one language or in any language that com

bines so many points of excellence." THE BOSTON DAILY GLOBE says:

"The Schaff-Herzog will rank for fullness, comprehensiveness and accuracy as the best ever published."

BISHOP J. H. VINCENT, of Chautauqua, says:

"It is undoubtedly a work for every minister and for every library." PROF. E. J. WOLF, D.D., Gettysburg Luth. Seminary, says:

"It exceeds the most sanguine expectations. It offers the immense and sterling treasures of European learning coined into American currency." THE CONTEMPORARY REVIEW, London, England, says:

"The American work (The Schaff-Herzog) is one which ought to find a place in every library, for it is the German Herzog boiled down, and supplies information about American church writers, divines, and colleges, which can nowhere else be found."

ROSWELL D. HITCHCOCK, D.D., LL.D. (Pres. Union Theo. Sem. N. Y.), shortly before his death, said of the first edition:

"The Schaff-Herzog is the very best Religious Encyclopædia. acquainted with no work that equals it."

TALBOT W. CHAMBERS, D.D., New York, says:

I am

"I expected much from the 'Schaff-Herzog Encyclopædia,' but find my anticipations exceeded. In fullness, fairness, and accuracy the work is unequaled in its kind."

THE NATIONAL BAPTIST, Phila., says:

"We have nothing like it in English. The articles are clear, condensed, and just such as an intelligent layman can readily understand and appreciate. The array of learning represented in the names of the contributors is such as has never been brought together in a single work before." THE CHURCHMAN [Episcopalian], New York, says:

"We commend the work to our readers as superior to anything of the kind which has yet been produced. We believe that as it is the latest, s0 for many years it will be the best and most reliable compend of Religious Knowledge that we shall have."

WILLIAM M. TAYLOR, D.D., of New York, says:

"For fullness, comprehensiveness, and accuracy, this 'Encyclopædia' will take first place among Biblical Encyclopædias. Every article is 'boiled down' so as to contain nothing that is not essential to a knowledge of the subject handled, and so the work, as a whole, will be the concentrated essence of Religious Imformation, as well as a Directory which will indicate where fuller discussions are to be found."

THE JOURNAL OF EDUCATION, Bostou, says:

"It will rank for compactness, comprehensiveness, and scholarship among the first of all the Encyclopædias."

PROF. E. A. PARKS, D.D., says:

"This Encyclopædia' is preeminently valuable."

W. ORMISTON, D.D., LL.D., says:

"It is of vast value and matchless worth."

JULIUS H. SEELYE, Amherst College, Amherst, Mass., says:

"I have long been acquainted with the original work of Herzog, which

in scientific structure and profound learning has held the first place
among works of its kind. The present edition, to which Dr. Schaff's
accomplished supervision adds so much worth, is invaluable."
MARK HOPKINS, Ex-President of Williams College, says:

"Whether we look at the character of the original work, at that of the American editor, or at the contributors engaged, the Religious Encyclopædia' edited by Dr. Schaff promises to surpass anything in its line heretofore published."

THE NEW YORK HERALD says:

"It is an excellent work, and will be found extremely useful.
The best general dictionary on religious knowledge."
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, Edinburgh, Scotland, says:

"We have compared some of the articles of the Schaff-Herzog with the
original, and, so far as we have gone, we have found the work of conden-
sation to be carefully and acurately done. Strange to say, the condensing
process seems to have improved the original articles.
Chief among

these we place the article of Dr. Schaff himself on Christology. It is in fact a treatise in itself on the person of Christ from the dogmatic point of view, as an object of the Christian faith. It far excels the corresponding article in the original Herzog."

THE CONGREGATIONALIST, Boston, Mass., says:

"With six or seven encyclopædias within arm's length, we find ourselves more often taking down this than any other, and in no single instance do we remember to have been disappointed in our inquiries among its pages. Where a minister can have but one such work, it is our impression that, on the whole, whether for comprehensiveness or cheapness, this is best; while its freshness of subjects, and its attention to the literature of its topics-always brought down to date-add peculiar value." THE DAILY GLOBE, Boston, Mass., says:

"The completion of this work is an event in the history of the religious literature of this country, and will be hailed with a general recognition of the wisdom of its conception, and the learning and ability of its execution. It is so scholarly in its plan and treatment, and of such distinguished merits, that it must remain at the head of all our theological publications. The library of every Scripture student may now possess a work incompar able in the variety and fullness of its theological information and unequalled in its ability to satisfy daily reference."

THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL TIMES, Phila., Pa., says:

"The second volume shows, even more clearly than the first, the superiority of this 'Cyclopædia' over that of McClintock and Strong (its only rival in American literature) in brevity, evenness, and general accuracy. A religious encyclopædia at once' brief, broad, and reasonably complete." IN FOUR VOLS.: In All, In All,
