A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Grace before and after meals is not only a pious custom but the mark of a properly grateful man. This Preface is by way of being both Graces rolled into one. As it comes first in place in this little book, it is meant to express the gratitude of the reader for all that is best in it :as it comes last in order of time of writing, it is meant to express the gratitude of the author for all the help and kindness, which alone have made this book possible. It is therefore rather a record of thanks, than a recommendation of merit, either real or supposed, as is the stark or disguised purpose of most of its kind .F irst and foremost my thanks are due toM essrs. Spink tor giving me the opportunitv of writing in theirN utJ iisiiuitic Circular; and in connection I owe more than I can put down to my friend, Mr. L. Forrer, if he will allow me to call him so. He has been at the most unsparing pains both in the text and the illustrations; his knowledge, his experience and enthusiaem, invaluable. Then I have to thank the Rev. Dr. Burney, Fellow ofS. John sC ollege, Oxford for reading and correcting the proofs; andsupplementinu mv meaizre Hebrew attainments bv his well known scholarship. It would be less than graceful, it I were not to acknowledge that even it my stock of Hebrew is but meagre, the interest with which he inspired me twenty years ago at Oxford is living still. Whatever mav be thought of the general treatment of the subject, there can be but one opinion of the illustrations, which are at present of a superlative excellence, never before reached in the study of Jewish coins. For them too I have to thank many kind friends. No single ct)llection could provide all the specimens necessary. Mr.
