The London Bookseller pronounces this American edition "the most complete work of the kind in the English, or, indeed, in any other language." No similar work in our own or in any other language is for a moment to be compared with it. —Quarterly Review (London). In paper, press-work, cuts, maps, etc., we do not see anything to choose between this and the more costly English original; while in a multitude of other respects which affect the trustworthiness, thoroughness, and supreme excellence of the work as a thesaurus of Biblical knowledge, this is vastly to be preferred. - Congregational Review. As a companion to the Bible, as a work of reference for the study, as a book to own and to read, to place in the library and in the Sabbath-school, we know not its superior, and know of nothing to take its place.

Hackett and Prof. Ezra Abbot. NEANDER'S GENERAL HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION AND CHURCH. Translated from the German, by Rev. JOSEPH TORREY, Professor in the University of Vermont.
