Excerpt from What the World Owes to the Pharisee Davis lecturer, the Rev. R. Travers Herford, whom it is my privilege formally to introduce to you. I say that I do so formally because he is too well known to most of you to need any real introduction. His works and writings have already made him familiar. He has written 'on Christianity in the Talmud, Pharisaism, and The Sayings of the Jewish Fathers, and these writings have made him well known to students of literature, and particularly Jewish literature. He is also known to many searchers after knowledge as the courteous and ever helpful head of the Williams Library in Gordon Square.
