Excerpt from The Jewish Child, Its History, Folklore, Biology, Sociology This volume represents the first attempt in English, and, as far as I am aware, in any other language, to give an exclusive, comprehensive, but at the same time reliable, first-hand account of all the phases and aspects of Jewish child life. But whilst this book is encyclopædic in scope, and no pains have been spared to present a complete and fairly detailed panoramic view of the subject, it was not my aim to deal with my theme exhaustively. Any such attempt would have meant extending almost every chapter to the size of a book. I believe, however, that I have not omitted any facts which have an important bearing on the subject. The scholar or serious student who wishes to pursue the subject in greater detail will find in the numerous references plenty of signposts to show him the way. For the benefit of those who possess a knowledge of Hebrew or Talmudics, I have added an appendix, giving, in the form of a short index, the original of some of the more interesting Rabbinical statements or sayings referred to in the body of the book. In order to make the subject interesting reading, I have here and there interspersed a few pithy sayings or relevant anecdotes culled from Rabbinic literature.
