PREFACE TO VOL. V.
Op this volume, as of that which immediately preceded it, the editorial responsi- bility and general supervision have rested upon Dr. Strong. He has, however, been greatly aided by Professor Wormax, who has continued to assist in the department left incomplete by the late Dr. McClintock. Professor Schem has likewise rendered important aid, chiefly in national history and statistics. The comprehensive scope and detailed character of the work, as a trustworthy book of reference on all relig- ious topics, have been maintained Avithout change, except such improvements as ex- perience in its progress has suggested. Increased attention has been given to the non-Christian religions and nationalities, as the advance of missionary, scientific, and mercantile exploration has made them more and more the subjects of public notice and interest. The vocabulary, in the branches of philosophy, ethics, and memoirs, will also be found to be somewhat more full, and, we trust, not less satisfactory, than heretofore.
The contributions of the numerous assistants and special collaborators are indicated by their initials appended to their respective articles.
