We regret to record the death of Lord Rothschild, which

took place on Wednesday, at the age of seventy-four. It is probably truer to say of Lord Rothschild that he held a great financial position than that be was a great financier. His influence, however, in finance was a good one, and be was a man with no small amount of public spirit. He was a most generous subscriber to public funds, and the Jewish com- munity always found in him a pillar of strength.
