[Gutenberg 50408] • Jews and Moors in Spain

This volume of lectures was published in 1887.

From the Preface:

This volume is a reprint of newspaper reports

of a series of lectures delivered by the author from

the pulpit of Congregation B'nai Jehudah, Kan-

sas City, Mo., during the Fall and Winter of

1885-1886.

The lectures were prepared to fulfill the re-

quirements of popular discourses, and designed to

convey information upon a highly important epoch

of the world's history, that is almost neglected

in English literature.

The thought of publishing these lectures in

book form was utterly foreign to the author through-

out their preparation, until an urgent solicitation

from very many persons, both Jews and Gentiles,

in all parts of this country, whose interest in

these lectures was aroused by their wide-spread

republication by the Press, made it a duty.

Kansas City, Mo., January, 1887.
