One notes with interest that in the footnote at the bottom of p. 81 the Author writes: "The vocation of Judaism is extracted from a work entited Ben Uziel by Dr. Hirsh (!), Chief Rabbi at Emden, translated from the German." - The reference of course is to Ben Uzziel by R. Samsofn Raphael Hirsch (Altona, 1838)
