HENRIQUES, H. S. Q.

The Jews and the English Law

Oxford: Printed By Horace Hart, At the University Press, 1908. First Edition. Original green panelled cloth. Front and back free endpapers browned. Some foxing to endpapers and first & last few pages. Slight foxing to a few pages and light foxing to edges. Slight wear & slight soiling to spine, covers & corners ; Henry Straus Quixano Henriques (1866–1912) was a British barrister and legal scholar renowned for his contributions to the understanding of Jewish history and law in England. Born into a Sephardic Jewish family, Henriques pursued his education at the University of Oxford, where he developed a deep interest in the legal status and historical experiences of Jews in British society. Called to the Bar at the Inner Temple, he combined his legal practice with scholarly research, authoring several works that explored the intersection of Jewish life and English legislation. "The Jews and the English Law" is one of Henriques's most significant works, published in 1908. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the legal position of Jews in England from medieval times to the early 20th century. Henriques meticulously examines statutes, case law, and historical events that have shaped the experiences of Jewish communities. He highlights the challenges faced in achieving civil rights and legal recognition, as well as the progress made over centuries. The work is lauded for its scholarly rigor and remains a valuable resource for understanding how legal frameworks have both influenced and reflected societal attitudes toward Jewish people in England. This particular copy of "The Jews and the English Law" originates from the library of Exbury House, a distinguished estate located in Hampshire, England. Exbury House became associated with the Rothschild family when it was acquired by Lionel de Rothschild in 1919. The Rothschilds, a prominent Jewish banking family, had a profound interest in legal matters, history, and the advancement of Jewish rights. The inclusion of Henriques's work in their library underscores the family's engagement with scholarly pursuits that reflect their heritage and the broader historical journey of Jews in England. The estate's library not only served as a repository of knowledge but also as a testament to the Rothschilds' commitment to cultural and intellectual enrichment, bridging personal heritage with collective history. ; 21.5 x 14 x 4.3 cms; xxviii, 324 pages.
