religious holidays including Passover, Pentecost, and the Day of Atonement, as

essays with the warm salutation "My dear children" and explains in the preface
that her goal in publishing this volume is to "fill young minds with bright
pictures of goodness and happiness.[rather] than to appall the imagination of
children by shadowing forth, for their instruction and warning, those gloomy
realities of degradation still unknown to them and from which, under God's
blessing, and by faithful adherence to the precepts of this sacred volume, they
may always be mercifully kept aloof" (iv-v). Baroness Charlotte de Rothschild
(1819-1884), of the Rothschild banking family in Naples, France, married her
cousin, Baron Lionel de Rothschild, in 1836. The "never to be forgotten
Baroness" was a prominent socialite and also extremely active in politics and
philanthropy. She founded several charities including the Invalid's Kitchen at
Bishopsgate and the Home for Aged Incurables. Her social circle included many
high profile figures, from Benjamin Disraeli to the editor of The Times, John
Delane. She was best known, however, for her work at the Jews' Free School, and
the establishment of the "Evelina Prizes" (named after her daughter who died in
childbirth in 1866) in Jewish elementary schools in London." According to its
