Overview

Excerpt from A History of the Jews in England But the story of the ]ews in England is something more than a mere illustration of the general for tunes of the Jews. The unparalleled preservation of mediaeval records in England enables the historian to trace more clearly than elsewhere the peculiar position of the ]ews under the Feudal System. Then, again, the stages in jewish emancipation in England are very accurately marked. We see the ]ews earning by civic virtues the claim for political rights. Emanci pation in England was not granted in obedience to abstract principles; it was a practical concession made by practical men. In other ways, too, the story told in this book has its importance not merely as a record of the past but as a guide and hope for the future. The tale unfolded may not be brilliant, but the moral pointed is inspiring. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
