Excerpt from Israel and the Gentiles: Contributions to the History of the Jews, From the Earliest Times to the Present Day Ir may, perhaps, not be quite without interest to my English readers to know that I am, by birth, a descendant of one of those Jewish families who, in the seventeenth century, sought refuge in the Netherlands from the persecutions of Spain and Portugal. From my earliest youth the history of my forefathers has been an object of meditation and study; the modern part, especially, first drew my attention, and both my heart and imagination were captivated by the task of exploring the annals of Israel's dispersion and exile.

Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ...at that tender age, while yet unsullied with the sins of riper years. You were baptized by the name of Alphonso before you could say your letters! "Afterwards, as time passed on, I devoted myself yet more to the study of Holy Scripture, reading both the Testaments, hearing the words of living teachers, and consulting the writings of holy men, our predecessors; thus I, who was formerly a teacher of error, am become, by the grace of God, a learner of the truth, and have continued so to the great age I have now attained. I can say in truth that amid the pressure of worldly business, and the cares of my bishopric, which have occupied much of my time, /there is no consolation to be compared to that I have found in the contemplation of the Eternal God by the study of his holy and spotless Word. "I have also enjoyed what the world calls prosperity. In my utter unworthiness, God has raised me to high honours in his Church. Called first to the Bishopric of Carthagena, then raised to that of Burgos, I have been, so to speak, gifted with the choicest portions in the Church of God. To these have been also added other temporal advantages. With King Henry III., of glorious memory, and with his illustrious son, our present monarch, I have been on terms of familiar intercourse intended to bring conviction to his former coreligionists, and for that purpose filled with striking passages in support of the Christian faith, quoted from rabbinical writers, giving their views of the person, the distinguishing characteristics, and the promised kingdom of the Messiah. He also expresses, very clearly, his own views concerning the future restoration of Israel, taken from the Prophecies, an expectation which has never been quite lost sight of in the Romish Church....

Excerpt from Israel the Gentiles: Contributions to the History of the Jews From the Earliest Times to the Present Day It is, I believe, customary for a translator to say a few words in introducing an author whose work is in this manner ushered before the public in a new garb; and I cannot thus mention Dr. Da Costa, without expressing my wish that the reader of his book may, even in a small degree, participate in the vivid enjoyments which I myself have derived from the gifted writer's own conversation and correspondence. In the author of "Israel and the Gentiles," it is not only the poet and the man of letters with whom we become acquainted, neither is it human wisdom alone that flows with eloquence from his lips. We recognise in him the devoted Christian, the true servant of his "elder brother according to the flesh," whom he worships as Messiah, his King, and his God.
