Essays on Jewish life and thought : the letters of Benammi [i.e. Mordecai Epstein]: second series / Essays

The reception accorded to the First Series of papers, published two years ago, has encouraged the writer to issue a companion volume contains a further instalment of studies of Jewish life and thought.
