Preface

So much has occurred in the Society’s history in the relatively short time since the last volume was published, in 1971, that it is difficult to compress into small compass this Preface to Transactions XXIV and Miscellanies Part IX. Mixed with the pleasure the Publications Committee of the Jewish Historical Society of England now has in presenting this new volume is regret that unexpected circumstances have prevented the fulfilment on this occasion of their hope that annual publication might be achieved. We apologise to our members and other readers, especially those, both individual and institutional, who have anxiously inquired over the past year or so whether their copy of the volume had miscarried in the mail; their inquiries are in themselves also a tribute and encouragement to the Society and those who contribute the papers to its proceedings.
