The chapters of this volume were almost all spoken addresses. The author has not now changed their character as such, for it seemed to him that to convert them into formal essays would be to rob them of any little attraction they may possess. One of the addresses—that on "Medieval Wayfaring"—was originally spoken in Hebrew, in Jerusalem. It was published, in part, in English in the London Jewish Chronicle, and the author is indebted to the conductors of that periodical for permission to include this, and Other material, in the present collection. Some Others of the chapters have been printed before, but a considerable proportion of the volume is quite new, and even those addresses that are reprinted are now given in a fuller and much revised text. As several of the papers were intended for popular audiences, the author is persuaded that it would ill accord with his original design to overload with notes and references. These have been supplied only where absolutely necessary, and a few additional notes are appended at the end of the volume
