The creeds and confessions are given in the original languages from the best editions, and are accompanied by translations for the convenience of the English reader.1 While these volumes were passing through the press several learned treatises on the ancient creeds by Lumby, Swainson, Hort, Caspari, and others have appeared, though not too late to be noticed in the final revision. The literature has been brought down to the close of 1876. I trust that nothing of importance has escaped ray attention.
