Preface to 1950 Edition
With this edition the American Baha'i Publishing Committee takes over copyright and other interests in "Baha'u'llah and the New Era" from Messrs. George Allen & Unwin Ltd., of London, England, through whom the late Dr. J. E. Esslemont published his famous book more than twenty years ago. Under arrangement with the British publishers, the Committee has since 1928 brought out eleven printings, in addition to the first American edition imported by Brentano's of New York (3:1)
