NEW AMERICAN
ENCYCLOPEDIA
LIMITED EDITION
The increased need for specific knowledge in Jewish, Judeo
Christian, Islam, the Bible, and in hundreds of thousands of
other subjects, is an outstanding fact in modern life. In this
Atomic Age, there is, in every house, a frequent quest for
authoritative information to explain and to dispose of a moot
point discussed among friends, preached from the pulpit,
heard on tho radio, seen in the press, read in some classics,
or in books of higher learning. For such purpose there are
many highly specialized volumes costly and hard to obtain
by the average person.
It is to meet such needs for a comprehensive, compact and
inexpensive volume that this edition of the New American
Encyclopedia has been prepared for the Cosmopolitan Press,
under the direction of Dr. Sandor Kaufmann, Editor In Chief
of the American Jewish Encyclopedia, of which Volume I is
now in circulation. All references on the subjects outlined
above and other related subjects are alphabetically arranged.
This deluxe volume should be found on the desk of every
executive, preacher, speaker and on the desks of all other
professional men.
