No trace of a book in Cambridge; he does not know the Rabbinic work 'Seder Raddoroth'; since 'Jewish histories are generally not worth reading', he suggests Dr Sacks should tell the committee how it is superior to most Jewish histories, and more reliable, or else translate it at his own risk for the committee; he doubts whether 'Shebet Jehudah' would be 'acceptable to an enlightened public': committee probably could not justify translation and printing; Dr Sacks should send specimens of each work, text and translation; little Rabbinic literature is worth reading: a few Bible commentaries, and Chaldee Targums; the latter need revision and correction
