Excerpt from Sefer Okre Harim
The nineteenth century has seen much zeal and activity displayed in the field of Jewish science.
The sea of Jewish literature has been crossed in all directions, and in the diving bells of inquiry pearls of knowledge have been elevated and deposited in monthlies, pamphlets, and special works on history, philology, philosophy, arch?ology, poetry, Hagada, zoology, botany, mineralogy, mathematics, jurisprudence, ethics, etc.; but, the sea of Jewish literature being too vast, a great many branches are entirely neglected and unnoticed.
Actuated by the desire to contribute our scientific mite to the great fund of Jewish science, we are endeavoring to have published a series of small volumes on subjects of Jewish science not treated as yet in any modern language.
We begin the series with "The Rabbinical Dialectics," Oker Horim is the Talmudical term for a dialectician.
Being the first book on Rabbinical Dialectics ever written from an historical standpoint, with plain examples where elucidation is necessary, and covering the whole ground of the subject, it must be welcome to all interested in the internal development of post-biblical Judaism.
Putting our trust in God, and in all who are interested in the science of Judaism, we hope that our endeavor to bring to light precious metals from the mines of Jewish literature will be crowned with success.
We render our best thanks to "the Father of the Union of the American Congregations" and of "the Azileh Beneh Israel College," Rev. Dr. I. M. Wise, who, having read the manuscript, was kind enough to recommend it to the publisher.
