Detailed
Description		    Rev. Alexander McCaul (1799-1863), was an English Christian missionary. He became interested in the Jews, and was sent as a missionary to Poland in 1821, where he studied Hebrew and German at Warsaw. In 1822 he went to interview the czar in regard to the conversion of the Jews. McCaul wrote vigorously against the blood accusation, and refused the Protestant bishopric of Jerusalem, on the ground that it should be held by a Jew by birth. He became professor of Hebrew and rabbinical literature at King's College, London. R. Maimon in Sarei ha-Elef relates a facinating story on MaCaul and claims he was a convert to Christianty.
