Judaism and Its History: Closing With the Destruction of the Second Temple

Excerpt from Judaism and Its HistoryThe following pages owe their origin to a Course of Lectures delivered before a select audience of educated persons. As they met with friends among these, so they seek them also among an educated public at large.May subjects of such serious, profound importance as those considered in these pages, venture upon the vast market of life, considering that their examination claims the merit of presenting new results gained from the new point of view? It cannot be contested that the results which science has sought to establish, with the aid of all the means at her command, should be made the common good of all educated people; but, as long as the finality of such results has not been proven, should it not be preposterous to drag them before the public at large?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
