The speaker writes of himself by way of introduction: “I am descended of a family which has been settled at Saphia… And I was born there of a father so zealous for his religion, that, being able to support the charge of such an education, he designed to make me a Rabbin… I have been very well versed in the Scriptures from my earliest youth; and, for several years, have been engaged in the study of the Talmuds.”
