Excerpt from History of the Hebrew Commonwealth: Translated From the German The translation of Jahn was nearly through the press, when Professor Stuart suggested the propriety of continuing the narrative down to the reign of Adrian. This seemed necessary to a complete view of the history of the Hebrews, as that was the time when their national exist ence actually terminated. It was, therefore, my earnest wish to continue the history; but my health being then so much reduced that I could not undertake the task myself, I requested a friend to furnish me with a translation of that part of Basnage's Histoire des Juifs, which relates to this period. The result of his labours will be seen in the Appendix. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
