The British Israelites: Or Evidences Of Our Hebrew Origin, Gathered From History, Genealogy, Philology, And Heathen Customs (1885) - Paperback

by Henry William J. Senior (Author)

The British Israelites is a book written by Henry William J. Senior in 1885. The book explores the idea that the British people are descended from the ancient Hebrews. Senior gathers evidence from various sources including history, genealogy, philology, and heathen customs to support this theory. He argues that the similarities between the British and Hebrew cultures, languages, and traditions are too great to be a coincidence. Senior provides a detailed analysis of the British and Hebrew languages, pointing out similarities in vocabulary and grammar. He also examines the customs and traditions of both cultures, such as the use of the harp and the importance of family genealogy. The book is a fascinating exploration of a controversial theory and provides a unique perspective on British history and identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
