Excerpt from History of All Religions: Containing a Statement of the Origin, Development, Doctrines, Forms of Worship and Government of All the Religious Denominations in the World The design of the following work is essentially different from that of other publications on the same subject, which already exist. The larger and more extensive of these are composed of articles on the Religious Sects in the United States, which were written by members of the several denominations described, and are often expanded into immense length by reiterated and familiar arguments intended to demonstrate the truthfulness and Scriptural authority of the Sects to which the respective writers belonged. This method of treatment is much better suited to works on Polemic Theology than to those which profess merely to contain a statement of opinions and a narrative of events. On the other hand, the smaller works which have appeared on this subject are superficial and incomplete, being generally made up of very short articles, of clippings from Encyclopædias and Biographical Dictionaries, and are utterly unfit to convey even to the general reader a satisfactory idea of the various subjects which come under consideration.

Samuel M. Smucker was born Samuel Mosheim Schmucker on January 12,1823 in New Market, Virginia. The son of a Lutheran pastor, he went on to become a Lutheran pastor himself in Lewistown and later Germantown, in Pennsylvania. He worked in the ministry for six years, but left in 1848 to study law. He pursued law for a few years in Philadelphia, but after 1853, he decided to follow his passion and write. Smucker was known better for compiling information he found available, rather than doing deep research. As a result, while this work claims to be a "History of All Religions", and paints a helpful picture of numerous religions practiced during the 1800s around the world, it is far from exhaustive. Smucker died on May 12, 1863 while in Philadelphia. Although quite young at the time of his passing, he wrote numerous books, including Historic Doubts Respecting Shakespeare, Illustrating Infidel Objections Against the Bible (1848), Life and Times of Henry Clay (1859) and Blue Laws of Connecticut (1860).
