The Literary Remains of the Rev. Simeon Singer
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

The Literary Remains of the Rev. Simeon Singer (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Literary Remains of the Rev. Simeon Singer Just a year before, a Conference of Preachers of Metropolitan and Provincial Synagogues had been held in London. The Chief Rabbi presided, and Singer, as Honorary Secretary, was the moving spirit of the meetings, which extended over four days. The results, though modest, were valuable. Of the liturgical changes which Singer himself introduced the most important were the recital of the Decalogue every Sabbath, the introduction of a regular Bible Reading in English a Prayer in the vernacular, a modification in the Prayer for the Royal Family (by which some of the obsolete mediaeval phraseology was removed), and, most important of all,...
