Overview

Excerpt from Scrolls, Vol. 1 of 2: Essays on Jewish History and Literature, and Kimgred Subjects Nothing more is needed to corroborate this state ment, than to point to the valuable information which we received through the publication of the memoirs of Glueckel of Hameln,3 twenty years ago. The authoress was a woman, undoubtedly of higher at tainments than the average of her class two hundred years ago, but her mental horizon is limited to petty congregational gossip and family affairs. The same may be said, with some difference as to the character of the author, with regard to the memoirs of Jacob Emden.4 May I not flatter myself, that ideas which I expressed on current topics, since 1877, may, just because they reflect the fleeting ideas of the days in which they were written, prove of more than personal interest. The latter, however, - I freely admit was the main motive, which guided me in accepting the offer of the Alumni of the Hebrew Union College, to place a sum of money at my disposal on the occasion of my twenty-fifth anniversary as teacher of that institution, and I accepted it for the purpose of collecting for my own satisfaction these scattered products of my pen.
