It is not my intention to expatiate in these prefatory remarks on the
present work and its author. A history of the Jews in Russia and Poland
from the pen of S. M. Dubnow needs neither justification nor
recommendation. The want of a work of this kind has long been keenly felt
by those interested in Jewish life or Jewish letters, never more keenly
than to-day when the flare of the world conflagration has thrown into
ghastly relief the tragic plight of the largest Jewry of the Diaspora. As
for the author, his power of grasping and presenting the broad aspects of
general Jewish history and his lifelong, painstaking labors in the
particular field of Russian-Jewish history fit him in singular measure to
cope with the task to which this work is dedicated.
