EDITED BY 



HENRY B. SMITH, D.D., and PHILIP SCHAFF, D.D., 



Professors in the Union Theological Seminary, New York. 

 



The undersigned propose to publish a select and compact Library of Text-Books upon 

 all the main departments of Theology and Philosophy, adapted to die wants especially of 

 ministers and students in all denominations. 



Some of the works will be translated from the German and other languages ; others will 

 be based upon treatises by various authors ; some will be written for the Library by English 

 or American scholars. The aim will be to furnish at least one condensed standard work on 

 each of the scientific divisions of ThetJogy and Philosophy, giving the result of the best 

 critical investigations, excluding, however, such histories and commentaries as extend 

 through many volumes. 



This scheme Is not presented 'as final, but as indicating the aim of the editors. If suffi- 

 cient encouragement be given, no pains will be spared to make the project complete, and 

 thus to meet a great and acknowledged desideratum in the apparatus for study. On all 

 these topics cvury student needs, at least, one good work. To supply this will be the aim 

 of our Library. 



The various volumes will be published in the best style, on reasonable terms, and as 

 rapidly as the nature of the work and the encouragement of the public will allow. 



The editors will be assisted by eminent scholars of various denominations, who will 

 respectively assume the literary responsibility for the volumes prepared by themselves 

 within the general plan and aim of the library.
