Summary

"The Jews in Great Britain" by Moses Margoliouth is a collection of historical lectures that explore the long and complicated story of Jewish people living in England, particularly focusing on the time before they were forced to leave in 1290. The author looks at different parts of their lives, like their writing, religion, and place in society, during different times in history. The story starts with the author talking about his feelings arriving in England and how important Jewish history is to everyone. He explains that it is a challenge to learn about Jewish history in England because they weren't always able to write down their own stories, but hints at how important they were to England.
