PREFACE: "The writer of the following pages has felt a more than ordinary interest in Jewish affairs; and has had greater intercourse with British Jews than, probably, any other minister in the United Kingdom. During years past he has avai…led himself of every opportunity to become acquainted with their various ceremonies, as now practised; and of collecting materials, from which the following work has been compiled. The substance of the first part was delivered in the form of a lecture in the winter of 1850, to more than one literary institution in the Metropolis, and the interest which the subject excited on those occasions induced the writer to prepare the present volume. With the exception of two, all the translations from the Hebrew into English contained in this work are Jewish. Whatever improvement they require, the writer thought it best to retain them as fiimished to him - especially as by far the majority are accredited translations. In making use of the documents also - both written and printed - with which he has been from time to time so kindly favoured by his Jewish friends, he has generally transcribed them verbatim, with now and then a slight alteration in the phraseology. Thus, the following work is only a compilation of existing materials, without anything of the writer's except their arrangement, and the thread on which they are strung together. In describing the various religious duties and ceremonies, the writer has followed the strict, Enlightened Jew. He has not on the one hand crowded his pages with the superstitions of the ignorant, - nor, on the other hand, left out those duties neglected by the irreligious - to whom, by the bye, many of the facts recorded in the following pages are as strange as to the Christian reader; but he has endeavoured to give a faithful account of Judaism as practised by the strict British Jew, modified by the enlightenment of the age. Nor has the writer attempted to discuss the principles upon which the various ceremonies are founded, but has confined himself to a mere statement of facts. The writer readily acknowledges that the completeness of the work is owing much to the information furnished by several of his Jewish Mends¿ especially the Rev. Mr. Aschee, Kev. Mr. Piza, the Editors of the "Jewish Chronicle" and "Hebrew Observer," S. Sequerra, Esq., Mr. J. Vallentine, and Mr. H. Wolf, a Christian Jew. To the Bible reader - for whom the writer has principally prepared the volume - he trusts the work will prove interesting, as most of the ceremonies here detailed furnish a living commentary on many passages of Holy Writ."
