They have drawn, wherever possible, on their own personal acquaintance with the Lands of the Bible, the Peoples, their Manners and Customs, and the Conditions of their Life. Many articles of special importance have been entrusted to scholars whose distinction in their own subjects commands universal respect. The writers are responsible for the views which they express. The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Truro had undertaken to write the article on the English Bible. Unfortunately he was prevented by illness from doing this; and at very short notice Mr. Maclean \vatt of Alloa kindly wrote the article. The dictionary deals with Biblical Antiquities, Biography, History, Literature, Manners and Customs, Natural History, Geography, and Topography. Repetition has been avoided by a careful arrangement of cross-references. Space has also been saved by a system of easily understood contractions, thus making possible a fuller treatment of the more important subjects.
