Abstract
THE first volume of the last edition of this well-known treatise was issued in 1898, and was remarkable for the introduction of two features, which have become the most striking characteristics of this first volume of the new edition. These are the recognition of the fact that the subjects to be dealt with are so numerous and important that a single compiler can no longer cope with them, and that in publishing a large and important work of this kind in English it is desirable to endeavour to meet the needs both of readers in this country and in the United States. This latter consideration is a very important one, and it is to be hoped that its recognition will facilitate the re-publication of other large works of reference in English.
