In this second and revised edition there is less than two-thirds the amount of matter given in the first edition of thirteen years ago. It contains “data relating to some 5000 cities and towns and villages which are of present importance to the missionary enterprise.” There is also a number of special articles of unusual value, prepared by experts. Another excellent feature is the bibliography that follows special articles upon countries, mission boards, religion and races, as well as some other subjects. (Ind.)
“We commend the general appearance of the work, its clear typography and evidence of careful editing. There is much in this new and admirable encyclopedia to commend. The absence of an index is inexcusable.”
