Schirmer, Inc., wished to pay me a compliment on the occasion of my sev entieth birthday. Since he had always been amused by my relation of little incidents in my long career, he got me to write some of them down, then put them together with inimitable skill and charm, and published the result in the Musical Quarterly. This created a great deal of comment, and the next thing was that Warder Norton asked me to write a whole book about myself. I rejected his suggestion with horror, but I went to tea with him and his wife, and, as a consequence of their skillful and delicate flattery, I was undone. Even so, the book would never have been completed without the gentle and incessant nagging of my wife. The time has come for me to express my acknowledg ments to everyone concerned in this perpetration, and I hereby do so, peevishly, with the fervent hope that they will allleave me alone in future. It remains only for me to add, now that I notice the curi ously abrupt fashion in which this book starts, that I was born near London on April 28, 1873. H. B. ne MY EARLIEST REACTION TO MUSIC, AS FAR AS I CAN RECALL, was one of fascinated terror. Even at this far-distant time, it almost makes my flesh creep when I think of the huge faces of adults bending over me, or over one of my sisters, and emitting the strange sound which, I was later to learn, is called singing. The music was not confined to noises coming from human faces, however, for there was also the unfor gettable sound solemn and yet piercing of the shiny brass instruments played in the street by a group of shabby men called the German Band. In addition, there was the Italian barrel-organ grinder, accompanied sometimes oh, bliss by a monkey; an occasional violinist; a man who played a bright yellow clarinet; two men in Highland cos tume, one of whom danced to the playing of the bagpipes ( the most exciting sound in the world, I think) by his com panion. Then the music of the street cries ( Chinaware cheap and Jubilee Coal Blocks provided the themes, later on, 9] for a juvenile sonata), and finally, the god of musicians, a glorious individual who went about with a dozen different instruments distributed over his person, playing them all at the same time. That, to me, was real magic; and I longed unspeakably to grow up and conquer my fear of the sounds, so that I could wield the power he possessed some day I suppose it was this mingled feeling of fear and ambition that made me try to find the notes of a tune which had alarmed me to the extent of wanting to hide under the table. After I had pickedout the notes, I did not mind it so much. It was the opening of Brahms' piano quintet, and I am still a little afraid of it. On my fourth birthday, I decided that the time had come for me to do something important, so I composed a polka which contained exactly eight measures quite enough, I considered, for a beginning, a middle, and an end. How it was that this babyish little thing stuck in my mind I am un able to say, but it came back to me about half a century later, when Ossip and Clara Gabrilowitsch told me almost tear fully that their daughter Nina showed not

Much as he considered himself a philosopher, Morris Raphael Cohen was also immersed in the machinery of social life. From his first years of "engagement" as a volunteer teacher in Thomas Davidson's school for working-class people, to his last as professor of philosophy at New York's City College and at the University of Chicago, he constantly sought to understand the underlying assumptions of human behavior. The studies Cohen gathered together for Reflections of a Wondering Jew are an indication of representative achievements of his life. He was deeply involved in the experience of the American Jewish community, and much of his work here consists of an inquiry into and analysis of specifically Jewish affairs. Some of his most valuable contributions to American thought and maturity are those that were never included in standard philosophical efforts. His work and scholarship provide foundations for the field of human problems and the history of ideas. These lectures illuminated the way forward in so many of our crisis years. There is a certain tragedy to the fact that for many decades Morris Raphael Cohen had hoped to organize and put into systematic form his literary reflections on Jewish problems and American liberalism. Towards the end of his life, he faced the realization that many of his intended writings would never reach fruition. Though this volume may not be quite what Cohen intended, it is a product of a mature giant in American intellectual history.

Excerpt from Crypto-Jews in the Canaries: A Paper Read Before the Jewish Historical Society of England Some twenty years ago, while investigating the circumstances of the re-settlement of the Jews in this country under the Protectorate, I was struck by the curious fact that that chief figure in that movement, Antonio Fernandez Carvajal, and several of his fellow adventurers, hailed from a little archipelago in the East Atlantic, which had never before figured in Jewish history, and which, so far as I know, has not even yet found a place in that record. Carvajal had considerable property in the Canaries, and seems to have spent his early life at Santa Cruz. Duarte Henriques Alvares had been Royal Treasurer in the islands, and his nephew, Antonio Rodrigues Robles, whose sensational denunciation as a Spaniard on the outbreak of the Spanish war in 1656 first revealed the existence of the London Marrano community, and successfully established its rights of residence, had been his Deputy-Treasurer. There was also reason to believe that Carvajal's brother-in-law, Simon de Souza, and other relatives and co-religionists of his who had joined him in England, notably Domingo de la Cerda and Antonio de Porto, were Canariote immigrants. With a view to throwing further light on the personal histories of these men, and on the circumstances which determined their eventful migration, I planned a visit to Teneriffe in the autumn of 1894. By a fortunate accident I confided my project to the late Marquis of Bate, and was thus spared a bootless journey. Some years earlier Lord Bute had acquired the larger part of the original records of the Canariote Inquisition, of which a general calendar, dealing chiefly with Protestant and sorcery cases, has since been printed under the editorship of Dr. de Gray Birch. These valuable documents he was good enough to place at my disposal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677) war ein niederländischer Philosoph und Sohn portugiesischer Immigranten sephardischer Herkunft und Portugiesisch als Muttersprache. Er wird dem Rationalismus zugeordnet und gilt als einer der Begründer der modernen Bibelkritik. Spinozas Konzept von rationaler Erkenntnis ist von einem ungetrübten, radikalen Optimismus bezüglich der Fähigkeiten des menschlichen Geistes gekennzeichnet. Er meinte, wir könnten nicht nur sämtliche Geheimnisse der Natur klären, sondern auch Gott adäquat erkennen: "Die menschliche Seele hat eine adäquate Erkenntnis der ewigen und unendlichen Wesenheit Gottes." Fritz Mauthner (1849-1923) war ein deutschsprachiger Philosoph und Schriftsteller.
