Excerpt from Memories of Gospel Triumphs Among the Jews During the Victorian Era In sending forth this Jubilee volume we have to express our regret that its publication has been so long delayed, on the one hand through illness and absorbing secretarial and editorial duties, and on the other hand, from causes which it was not in our power to obviate. We are sorry also that for want of space we have been obliged to give portraits of preachers and missionaries without sketches, and crush out articles and illustrations enough to fill a volume equal in size to this. Then, once more, the lives and labours of such representatives of the Society as the Revs. John Gill, M.D., Josiah Miller, M.A., Robert Grant Brown, Principal McAll, &c.; and such spiritual sons as the Rev. Abraham Ben Oliel, and his brother, the Rev. Maxwell Ben Oliel, Dr. Schnlhof, Dr. Benzion, Mr. J. B. Lazarus, Mr. C. D. Joseph, of Jerusalem, and the Revs. John Wilkinson, and James Adler, of the Mildmay Mission, would take more than one volume to do them justice; and yet we have only been able to insert a brief account of the work of the last two named. Many years ago Mr. Wilkinson wrote to the office for copies of the Annual Reports, Jewish Heralds, lectures, sermons, &c., which the Society had published. A parcel of these was sent to him in due course, which ho studied diligently, and afterwards, in his own way, reproduced in the discharge of his difficult and important double task as the Society's able and earnest Missionary and Deputation. The Jubilee volume contains some fine specimens of these early literary products of the Society; it also includes many striking incidents of Jewish conversion, and all the telling arguments in favour of Jewish Missions. In fulfilling our task as editor, our aim has been for the glory of God and the good of His people Israel, to make the book an impressive and inspiring record of the British Society's Jewish Mission work; and we entertain the conviction that we have succeeded. The hook proves that the London and British Societies are the illustrious mothers of modern Missions to Israel. In a word, our Jubilee volume is a storehouse of interesting and instructive facts and figures, arguments and illustrations, adapted alike to the aged and the young, which unmistakably show that the work of Jewish evangelization during the last 50 years has been so rich in spiritual results that it deserves and demands from the members of the Christian Church a million-fold more support than it has yet received. Again, in perusing the book, we would affectionately ask all our readers to bear in mind, and carry along with them to the end, the following important considerations: - (1.) That the golden sheaves presented in it are only a few taken from ten thousand reaped by our faithful missionaries in our home and foreign fields during the past half-century.

Between the 1870s-90s, considerable attention was paid to Jews and Judaism by English critics and writers. Argues that the consideration of Jews by English writers was often in the context of their efforts to describe and improve the English character. Observes that alongside English antisemitism there existed English attitudes which were in effect protective of the Jews. These included the Evangelical Revival's desire to both protect and convert the Jew, the English self-definition as both tolerant and believing in God (in contrast with intolerant Spain of the Inquisition and godless France of the Revolution), and the view expressed in George Eliot's "Daniel Deronda" which was affirmative of Judaism and the quest for a Jewish national homeland.

The dream of building Jerusalem in England's green and pleasant land has long been a quintessential part of English identity and culture: but how did this vision shape the Victorian encounter with the actual Jerusalem in the Middle East? The Holy Land in English Culture 1799-1917 offers a new cultural history of the English fascination with Palestine in the long nineteenth century, from Napoleon's failed Mediterranean campaign of 1799, which marked a new era in the British involvement in the land, to Allenby's conquest of Jerusalem in 1917. Bar-Yosef argues that the Protestant tradition of internalizing Biblical vocabulary - 'Promised Land', 'Chosen People', 'Jerusalem' - and applying it to different, often contesting, visions of England and Englishness evoked a unique sense of ambivalence towards the imperial desire to possess the Holy Land. Popular religious culture, in other words, was crucial to the construction of the orientalist discourse: so crucial, in fact, that metaphorical appropriations of the 'Holy Land' played a much more dominant role in the English cultural imagination than the actual Holy Land itself. As it traces the diversity of 'Holy Lands' in the Victorian cultural landscape - literal and metaphorical, secular and sacred, radical and patriotic, visual and textual - this study joins the ongoing debate about the dissemination of imperial ideology. Drawing on a wide array of sources, from Sunday-school textbooks and popular exhibitions to penny magazines and soldiers' diaries, the book demonstrates how the Orientalist discourse functions - or, to be more precise, malfunctions - in those popular cultural spheres that are so markedly absent from Edward Said's work: it is only by exploring sources that go beyond the highbrow, the academic, or the official, that we can begin to grasp the limited currency of the orientalist discourse in the metropolitan centre, and the different meanings it could hold for different social groups. As such, The Holy Land in English Culture 1799-1917 provides a significant contribution to both postcolonial studies and English social history.

This book focuses on the representation of the practitioner of the occult in mid to late nineteenth-century British literature. The occult was a source of emotional support and scientific curiosity during this time of change and uncertainty because it seemed to offer answers to both spiritual and scientific questions through measurable, albeit unconventional, means. However, the occult was also viewed as a threat to British society, an assault on it values, and a fundamental danger to emerging scientific enterprise. By examining the ways in which the occult and its practitioners are represented in British novels from 1850-1900, this book traces the ways that the novels commented on, participated in, and contributed to the racialization of the occult that occurred throughout the nineteenth century in Britain. The representations of the occult characters in these novels interpreted and transmitted the social, political, economic, and scientific discourses about race in the nineteenth century to the reading public, as well as participating in the discourse surrounding race and the occult.
