Abstract
ALL concerned in the production of this work may be congratulated on the completion of their undertaking. It is a work of more than ephemeral interest, and well deserves the favourable reception which has already been accorded to it. It was planned seventeen years ago, and the first divisional volume appeared in 1879. The intention at that time was that the Dictionary should consist of twelve divisional volumes, but, as the execution of the scheme went on, it became obvious that, unless the contents of the concluding volumes were to be presented in a very inadequate form, two additional divisional volumes would be necessary. It was arranged that these volumes should be supplied, and thus ample opportunity was provided for the maintenance, to the end, of a high standard of excellence.
