Five volumes relating to the history of the Jews in Russia, which were formerly in the private collections of the late Czar Nicholas II and his uncle, the Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovitch, have been acquired by the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.

The volumes, all of which carry the royal emblems, include a Report on the Jewish question by Panchulidzeff; statistics about the service of the Jews in the Russian armies; a Compendium of the Laws restricting the rights of Jews in Russia; and two volumes of sermons delivered by Rabbis at various times in honour of the royal family.
