tunity to submit these various works to
the same careful examination. 4
Some of my reasons for coming to this
decision are:
1st.--The character and standing in the
fields of learning Of those who occupy the
position of editors in chief of the work.
This to begin with should be o strong
guaranty of its merits. ii
and. The extensiveness or universal
character of the work itself.
3rd.-Thc e,aborateness, and complete
ness Of the articles ON leading, and i'm
portant subjects in the various fields Of
thought and research: .. @ in the various
systems of Theology; also, the careful and
thorough subdivision OF these articles un-
der their proper heads, making it at once
and Immediately available concerning
any special point under consideration.
th.-Because in the various depart
ments Of learning thu articles are the pro-
ductions Of the ablest thinkers and auth
ors Of the present day, that our country
can afford in their own special fields, and,
written by their own hands. with their
names affixed. This is a matter of great
importance to the student and scholar in
his researches. You have the matter
presented in the clearest, best and most

Cyclopadia and am much pleased with it
because being a newly written work it is
fully up to the present state of advance

Not being condensed from a larger work
it is not clipped here and grated there as
