The present work which I have called ''Introduction to the Talmud" is the
result of many years' labor and of a long experience as professor of the
Talmudical branches at the Hebrew Union College. It is intended to facilitate
the exceedingly difficult study of an intricate subject. It is the first
comprehensive work of its kind in the English language, yes, it might be said,
in any modern language, if we except Prof. Herman L. Strack's ''Einleitung in
den Talmud", a book which, though treating our subject with scientific
exactness and impartiality, was not intended to coyer the whole ground as is
attempted in the present publication.
