Synopsis

Excerpt from The Main Principles of the Creed and Ethics of Jews

The translator moreover trusts that English critics will be too generous to think of putting to the test of severe criticism the English of a foreigner, who came to this country but a very few years ago, at a period of life not the most favorable for acquiring a new language, and destitute even of the slight est acquaintance with the English tongue. Any remarks which they may condescend to make, tending either to set him right respecting any particular passages in which he may not have hit upon the precise meaning of his Author, or to point out to him any additional means by which these Selections may be made to answer more completely the purpose for which they are intended, will be received with sincere thanks, acknowledged in the most unequivocal manner, and, if found just, duly noticed in any future edition.

Excerpt from The Main Principles of the Creed and Ethics of Jews: Exhibited in Selections From the Yad Hachazakah of Maimonides, With a Literal English Translation, Copious Illustrations From the Talmud, &C., Explanatory Notes, an Alphabetical Glossary of Such Particles and Technical Terms as Occur in the Selections, An Reverend Sir, Independently' of the great debt of gratitude which I owe to yourself and to your learned friend, the Rev. George Skinner, for the unvarying kindness and encouragement, which ever since my arrival in Cambridge, it has been my good fortune to experience in an equal degree from both of you, I am under peculiar obligations to you, Reverend Sir, for your extreme condescension in undertaking to examine the manuscript of this work, previous to its going to the press, not merely for the kind purpose of pruning it of its most striking foreign idioms, but also with the view of comparing it with the original, and of pointing out to me the passages where the translation might be made more literal than I, as a foreigner, first thought that the genius of your language would admit of.
