PREFACE.
This volume is a reprint of newspaper reports of a series of lectures delivered by the author from the pulpit of Congregation B'nai Jehudah, Kansas City, Mo., during the Fall and Winter of 1885–1886.
The lectures were prepared to fulfill the requirements of popular discourses, and designed to convey information upon a highly important epoch of the world's history, that is almost neglected in English literature.
The thought of publishing these lectures in book form was utterly foreign to the author throughout their preparation, until an urgent solicitation from very many persons, both Jews and Gentiles, in all parts of this country, whose interest in these lectures was aroused by their wide-spread republication by the Press, made it a duty.
Kansas City, Mo., January, 1887.
The following are two of the many letters addressed to the author, requesting him to have his lectures on "The Jews and Moors in Spain" published in book form.

Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf.
Dear Sir:—Having read with pleasure and edification the series of lectures delivered in the Synagogue, Kansas City, Mo., entitled "The Jews and Moors in Spain," in which you treat of the social, political, religious and intellectual life of these Oriental nations, may I inquire if it is your purpose to have them published in book form?
I think the lectures too valuable, too full of prolonged historic research and thought to live only one day
