summary

Apparently an unpublished manuscript of Anglo-Jewish History. Though no name appears on the manuscript, everything points in the direction of Henriques as author. His earlier work on the subject, The Return of the Jews to England (1905) is quoted extensively and in a subsequent work, Jewish Marriages and the English Law (1909) there appears a list of works "by the same Author." As our work does not appear in the list, we must conclude that it was composed after 1909. Henry Straus Quixano Henriques (1864-1924), barrister and historian, served as President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews (1922-1925). See EJ, Vol. VIII, cols. 327
pp. 62. Half-morocco marbled boards, spine gilt. Folio
