| Summary | "Diaries of Sir Moses and Lady Montefiore, Volume 2 (of 2)" by Sir Moses Montefiore et al. is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume documents the personal diaries of Sir Moses Montefiore, a notable Jewish philanthropist and social reformer, and his wife, Lady Montefiore, spanning their life and work from 1812 to 1883. The diaries include their interactions with political leaders, humanitarian missions, and their efforts for the Jewish communities in various regions, particularly in the Holy Land. The opening of the volume introduces events from 1847, highlighting Sir Moses's recognition by the Queen upon his elevation to the baronetcy, and his subsequent endeavors to address accusations against Jews in the East. Sir Moses details his efforts to secure protection for the Jewish community from political leaders and his responses to the dangerous prejudices faced, particularly regarding the charge of blood libel. His compassionate activism and public engagements, including discussions with French officials and personal correspondence with leaders such as Lord Palmerston, are established as he seeks to foster a safer environment for his community in a period rife with antisemitism.
