of our race will be ninety five years old.
I rather recalled the fact The fact which flashed then before my memory was that only the earnest entreaties
and solicita[]ations of representative Israelites in Great Bri-
tain could alone prevail on the nonagenarian hoary headed hero to alter
his recent resolution. He had determined to undertake
once there an exhausting journey to Palestine, that his
presence might further the cause of industry among a
residue of the captivity, who dwell in the patriarchal land.
You know are aware that the Baronet, urged to consent that a mo-
nument commemorative of his philanthropy be
raised, requested that the reward of his labors for Israel
and mankind be the accumulation of a fund, wherewith
to permanently benefit the state of the Hebrews in the
country which the Divinity vouchsaved to hallowed. That is the crown-
ing deed of fifty years' steady work, upheld by ardent
zeal; that is the ultimate demonstration manifestation of a devout soul, and not the final revelation of " a noble but
impracticable scheme, " as falsely stated. I cannot forbear saying to
you that among the errors which the secular press
often commits, when it attempts to speak of matters
relating to Judaism none is was more glaring than that which
a popular paper in our city perpetrated a month ago.
