SMITH'S BIBLE DICTIONARY

SMITH'S BIBLE DICTIONARY 1868
Best and most accurate version:
This is the classic Bible Dictionary from
   1868 with thousands of entries concerning
   people, places and things in the Bible.
This download is quit large (100 meg in pdf)
   and will take quite some time to download.

SMITH'S BIBLE DICTIONARY 1884
Version from the the Christian Clasics Ethereal
   Library. It is abridged but a much smaller 
   download. (7 meg) 

SMITH'S BIBLE DICTIONARY 1898
This is a later edition of Smith's Bible Dictionary.
The entries are somewhat abridged but there are
   pictures and maps included which are of benefit
   to the reader.
This download is quit large (90 meg in pdf)
   and will take quite some time to download.

SMITH'S BIBLE DICTIONARY
This plain text version is from the Christian Clasics
   Ethereal Library. It can be open in notepad.
This download is quite small compared to many of
   the previous ones (5 meg in plain text) and will 
   take a lot less time to download.
The only drawback to this version is that it will
   contain spelling errors which is a quite common
   drawback of the OCR process used to produce
   them from the original pdf version.
