Preface
Though I should be sorry to seem to commit any one to my views, I cannot refrain from also expressing my gratitude to those who have kindly helped me in tracing the effects of Jewish discipline in promoting personal and racial longevity; amongst others, the Principals of Jews' College and the Jews' Free School; the Editors of the Jewish Chronicle and the Jewish World; and, last but not least, my kind and valued friend, Mr. Lazarus, late Beadle of the Berkeley Street Synagogue.
The descriptions of lessons on elementary mathematics which occur on pp. 117, 118, 119 and 122 appear also in "The Preparation of the Child for Science."
