It is inipossible to describe the applause the book called forth never had we read so glowing and so powerful a viiidication of pure Juda sm. We were rejoiced that flie couritry which had produced an Eiserimenger, a Wagenseil, Schudt, Pfefferkoni, et hoc genus onzne, should have yielded in our day too so triumphant a Defender of the Faith.

I t was then that the undersigned conceived the idea of rendering the book accessible to his English brethren. The work oftranslatio was comn er ceacnl d carried on in leisure intervals for the nest few years. In January, 1874, in conjunction with fr. A. Herzberg, then of London, brother of the author, a prospectus was ssuedin England, proposing the publication of the work by subscnpt on. The project was heartily l ldorsed by the Very Rev. the Chief 1 adbl and the Rev. Dr. Herrman Adler, the latter of whom kindly made valuable suggestions as to omissions and alterations proper in a version to come before average English readers. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
