Excerpt from Jewish Ceremonial Institutions and Customs
The lectures, on which the matter con tained in this volume is based, were orig inally delivered by me before the Oriental Seminary of the Johns Hopkins University in the winter of 1901. The reading of their abstracts in the Jewish and secular press prompted many persons to ask for the loan of my manuscript. When told that such loan could not be made, the suggestion was offered that I print the lectures for circula tion. Hence, I determined to cast the lec tures into popular form. The second and revised edition is published on account of the undiminished demand for this book. The accompanying plates are based on the objects of the Sonneborn collection of Jewish cere monial objects, at the Johns Hopkins Uni.
