Guedalla, H. Suggestions for Alterations and Curtailments in the Jewish Ritual now in use in the United Kingdom, to which are added some translations of ancient Jewish Prayers not generally known.

Haim Guedalla (1815-1904) married the niece of Sir Moses Montefiore and accompanied Sir Moses on his many diplomatic missions on behalf of the Jewish People. A philanthropist and ardent supporter of the Yishuv of Eretz Israel in his own right, Guedalla negotiated between the years 1876-80 with Midhat Pasha, Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, that Eretz Israel be sold to the Jews in exchange for assuming the general debt of the Ottoman Empire - L250,000,000. Ultimately, the scheme, inspired by his friend, the novelist George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda, went nowhere. See EJ, Vol. VII, cols. 957-8.
