Excerpt from A Religious Encyclopedia, or Dictionary of Biblical, Historical, Doctrinal, and Practical Theology, 1891, Vol. 4: Based on the Real-Encyklopadie of Herzog, Plitt, and Hauck; Together With an Encyclopedia of Living Divines and Christian Workers of All Denominations in Europe and America

The three volumes of this work are equi talent in size to about seven or eight volumes of the German work on which it is based. Our aim has been to put the reader in possession of the substance of Herzog, with such additional information as the English reader needs, and cannot expect from a German work written sively for German readers. It is simply impossible to make an encyclopzedia of one country and people answer the wants of another, without serious changes and modifications. Moreover, an encyclopazdia ought to be reconstructed everv ten years; and it is hoped that this work will renew its youth and usefulness as soon as the present edition is out of date.
