beloved church, it will also be retrospective in developing
the state of the Talmudical traditions, as they have varied
from the time at which they were censured by Christ
Jesus. The inquiry will be also retrospectively conducted
back to the time when the sacred text began to be the
subject of the commentator, who gradually debased its
meaning by various steps, and at various times, until the
Christian .zEra, when our Lord declared that the Scribes
and Pharisees made the Word of God of none effect
through their tradition. The different departments of
Jewish literature, of which there are some most valuable,
will be noticed. The Magazine will also contain articles
on the Old Testament institutions, as they are now ob-
served by the Jews throughout their dispersion. Their
present state and movements in all places of their cap-
tivity will also be described, &c. &c.
It is hoped, with the blessing of God, such a Magazine
may prove useful to students of biblical antiquity, &c.
We look, therefore, forward to their support, as the un-
dertaking must necessarily be accompanied with consider-
able expense. Such, therefore, as approve of our scheme,
and desire to become subscribers, are most respectfully
requsted to favour the Editor of " The Star of Jacob'
with their names without delay, We purpose issuing the
first number (n.v.) as soon as we shall have a sufficient
number of subscribers to warrant the undertaking.
It is intended that each number of " The Star of Jacob"
will contain 48 pages octavo, price ls.

Preparing for the press, a
TRANSLATION of the BABYLONIAN TALMUD,
with a preliminary Dissertation on the real genius,
and the nature of that extraordinary production. By
the Rev. MOSES MARGOLIOUTH, Curate of St.
Augustine's, Liverpool, Author of the " Fundamental
Principles of Modern Judaism Investigated," and " Is-
rael's Ordinances:examined."
The translator purposes (n.v) to publish a translation
of the Talmud, and Jarchi's Commentary on it, with a
reprint of the original texts of both. To which will be
added at the bottom of each page, notes to explain the
difficult passages that occur. He intends to add neither
note nor comment, as regards his opinion of that gigantic
work. Passages of an objectionable nature will be omit-
ted in the translation.
The work is intended to be published in serate
volumes. The first volume will appear soon after the
translator shall have received a sufficient number of sub-
scribers to cover the expenses of the press. It is most
respectfully requested that persons wishing to become
subscribers will kindly favour the translator with their
names, at their earliest convenience.
Price, to subscribers, two guineas for each volume.
Her Majesty has intimated her desire of having her
name inserted in the list of subscribers.
