This book is based, to a great extent, on the Sepher Haaggadah edited by Rabnitzki and Bialik. It comprises a selection of Talmudic and Midrashic Haggadoth, arranged according to their subjects. The translation has in all cases been made from the original sources, and an occasional note has been added in order to draw attention to historical or archaeological matters of interest.

The work is in no sense a complete collection of Haggadoth; but an effort has been made to give some of the most interesting legends, interpretations of Scripture, moral and religious parables and historical narratives, which are contained in the Talmud and Midrash.
