The entire work is one of great interest; it is written with moderation, and yet with a fine enthusiasm for the great race which is set before the reader's mind.—Atlantic Monthly.
We doubt whether there is in the English language a better sketch of Jewish history. The Jewish Publication Society is to be congratulated on the successful opening of its career. Such a movement, so auspiciously begun, deserves the hearty support of the public.—Nation (New York).
Of universal historical interest.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Compresses much in simple language.—Baltimore Sun.
Though full of sympathy for her own people, it is not without a singular value for readers whose religious belief differs from that of the author.—New York Times.
One of the clearest and most compact works of its class produced in modern times.—New York Sun.
The Jewish Publication Society of America has not only conferred a favor upon all young Hebrews, but also upon all Gentiles who desire to see the Jew as he appears to himself.—Boston Herald.

Altogether it would be difficult to find another book on this subject containing so much information.—American (Philadelphia).

A Tale for the Young, Narrating in Romantic Form the Boyhood of Sir Moses Montefiore.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
A graphic and interesting story, full of incident and adventure, with an admirable spirit attending it consonant with the kindly and sweet, though courageous and energetic temper of the distinguished philanthropist.—American (Philadelphia).
THINK AND THANK is a most useful corrective to race prejudice. It is also deeply interesting as a biographical sketch of a distinguished Englishman.—Philadelphia Ledger.

Told simply and well.—New York Sun.
An excellent story for children.—Indianapolis Journal.
The old as well as the young may learn a lesson from it.—Jewish Exponent.
It is a thrilling story exceedingly well told.—American Israelite.
The book is written in a plain, simple style, and is well adapted for Sunday School libraries.—Jewish Spectator.
It is one of the very few books in the English language which can be placed in the hands of a Jewish boy with the assurance of arousing and maintaining his interest.—Hebrew Journal.
Intended for the young, but may well be read by their elders.—Detroit Free Press.
Bright and attractive reading.—Philadelphia Press.
THINK AND THANK will please boys, and it will be found popular in Sunday School libraries.—New York Herald.
The story is a beautiful one, and gives a clear insight into the circumstances, the training and the motives that gave impulse and energy to the life-work of the great philanthropist.—Kansas City Times.
We should be glad to know that this little book has a large circulation among Gentiles as well as among the "chosen people." It has no trace of religious bigotry about it, and its perusal cannot but serve to make Christian and Jew better known to each other.—Philadelphia Telegraph.
Bound in Cloth. Price, postpaid, 50c.
RABBI AND PRIEST.
A STORY.
BY MILTON GOLDSMITH.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
The author has attempted to depict faithfully the customs and practices of the Russian people and government in connection with the Jewish population of that country. The book is a strong and well-written story. We read and suffer with the sufferers.—Public Opinion (Washington).
Although addressed to Jews, with an appeal to them to seek freedom and peace in America, it ought to be read by humane people of all races and religions. Mr. Goldsmith is a master of English, and his pure style is one of the real pleasures of the story.—Philadelphia Bulletin.
The book has the merit of being well written, is highly entertaining, and it cannot fail to prove of interest to all who may want to acquaint themselves in the matter of the condition of affairs that has recently been attracting universal attention.—San Francisco Call.

Also, an Appendix, giving an Abridged Summary of Laws,
Special and Restrictive, relating to the Jews in
Russia, brought down to the year 1890.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
The pamphlet is full of facts, and will inform people very fully in regard to the basis of the complaints made by Jews against Russia. We hope it will be very widely circulated.—Public Opinion (Washington).
The laws and regulations governing Jews in Russia, subjecting them to severe oppression, grievous restrictions and systematic persecution, are stated in condensed form with precise references, bespeaking exactness in compilation and in presenting the case of these unfortunate people.—Galveston News.
This pamphlet supplies information that is much in demand, and which ought to be generally known in enlightened countries.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Considering the present agitation upon the subject it is a very timely publication.—New Orleans Picayune.
It is undoubtedly the most compact and thorough presentation of the Russo-Jewish question.—American Israelite.
Better adapted to the purpose of affording an adequate knowledge of the issues involved in, and the consequences of, the present great crisis in the affairs of the Jews of Russia than reams of rhetoric.—Hebrew Journal.
Paper. Price, postpaid, 25c.

Paper. Price, postpaid, 25c.
CHILDREN OF THE GHETTO
BEING
PICTURES OF A PECULIAR PEOPLE.
BY I. ZANGWILL.
The art of a Hogarth or a Cruikshank could not have made types of character stand out with greater force or in bolder relief than has the pen of this author.—Philadelphia Record.
It is one of the best pictures of Jewish life and thought that we have seen since the publication of "Daniel Deronda."—London Pall Mall Gazette.
This book is not a mere mechanical photographic reproduction of the people it describes, but a glowing, vivid portrayal of them, with all the pulsating sympathy of one who understands them, their thoughts and feelings, with all the picturesque fidelity of the artist who appreciates the spiritual significance of that which he seeks to delineate.—Hebrew Journal.
Its sketches of character have the highest value.... Not often do we note a book so fresh, true and in every way helpful.—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
A strong and remarkable book. It is not easy to find a parallel to it. We do not know of any other novel which deals so fully and so authoritatively with Judaea in modern London.—Speaker, London.
Among the notable productions of the time.... All that is here portrayed is unquestionable truth.—Jewish Exponent.
Many of the pictures will be recognized at once by those who have visited London or are at all familiar with the life of that city.—Detroit Free Press.
It is a succession of sharply-penned realistic portrayals.—Baltimore American.
TWO VOLUMES.
Bound in Cloth. Price, postpaid, $2.50.
SOME JEWISH WOMEN.
BY
HENRY ZIRNDORF.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Moral purity, nobility of soul, self-sacrifice, deep affection and devotion, sorrow and happiness all enter into these biographies, and the interest felt in their perusal is added to by the warmth and sympathy which the author displays and by his cultured and vigorous style of writing.—Philadelphia Record.
His methods are at once a simplification and expansion of Josephus and the Talmud, stories simply told, faithful presentation of the virtues, and not infrequently the vices, of characters sometimes legendary, generally real.—New York World.
The lives here given are interesting in all cases, and are thrilling in some cases.—Public Opinion (Washington, D.C.).
The volume is one of universal historic interest, and is a portrayal of the early trials of Jewish women.—Boston Herald.
Though the chapters are brief, they are clearly the result of deep and thorough research that gives the modest volume an historical and critical value.—Philadelphia Times.
It is an altogether creditable undertaking that the present author has brought to so gratifying a close—the silhouette drawing of Biblical female character against the background of those ancient historic times.—Minneapolis Tribune.
Henry Zirndorf ranks high as a student, thinker and writer, and this little book will go far to encourage the study of Hebrew literature.—Denver Republican.
The book is gracefully written, and has many strong touches of characterizations.—Toledo Blade.
The sketches are based upon available history and are written in clear narrative style.—Galveston News.
Henry Zirndorf has done a piece of work of much literary excellence in "SOME JEWISH WOMEN."—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
It is an attractive book in appearance and full of curious biographical research.—Baltimore Sun.
The writer shows careful research and conscientiousness in making his narratives historically correct and in giving to each heroine her just due.—American Israelite (Cincinnati).
Bound in Cloth, Ornamental, Gilt Top. Price, postpaid, $1.25.
HISTORY OF THE JEWS
BY
PROFESSOR H. GRAETZ
Vol. I. From the Earliest Period to the Death of Simon the Maccabee (135 B.C.E.).
Vol. II. From the Reign of Hyrcanus to the Completion of the Babylonian Talmud (500 C.E.).
Vol. III. From the Completion of the Babylonian Talmud to the Banishment of the Jews from England (1290 C.E.).
Vol. IV. From the Rise of the Kabbala (1270 C.E.) to the Permanent Settlement of the Marranos in Holland (1618 C.E.).
Vol. V. In preparation.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Professor Graetz's History is universally accepted as a conscientious and reliable contribution to religious literature.—Philadelphia Telegraph.
Aside from his value as a historian, he makes his pages charming by all the little side-lights and illustrations which only come at the beck of genius.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The writer, who is considered by far the greatest of Jewish historians, is the pioneer in his field of work—history without theology or polemics.... His monumental work promises to be the standard by which all other Jewish histories are to be measured by Jews for many years to come.—Baltimore American.
Whenever the subject constrains the author to discuss the Christian religion, he is animated by a spirit not unworthy of the philosophic and high-minded hero of Lessing's "Nathan the Wise."—New York Sun.
It is an exhaustive and scholarly work, for which the student of history has reason to be devoutly thankful.... It will be welcomed also for the writer's excellent style and for the almost gossipy way in which he turns aside from the serious narrative to illumine his pages with illustrative descriptions of life and scenery.—Detroit Free Press.
One of the striking features of the compilation is its succinctness and rapidity of narrative, while at the same time necessary detail is not sacrificed.—Minneapolis Tribune.
Whatever controversies the work may awaken, of its noble scholarship there can be no question.—Richmond Dispatch.
If one desires to study the history of the Jewish people under the direction of a scholar and pleasant writer who is in sympathy with his subject because he is himself a Jew, he should resort to the volumes of Graetz.—Review of Reviews (New York).

SABBATH HOURS
THOUGHTS
BY LIEBMAN ADLER
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
Rabbi Adler was a man of strong and fertile mind, and his sermons are eminently readable.—Sunday School Times.
As one turns from sermon to sermon, he gathers a wealth of precept which, if he would practice, he would make both himself and others happier. We might quote from every page some noble utterance or sweet thought well worthy of the cherishing by either Jew or Christian.—Richmond Dispatch.
The topics discussed are in the most instances practical in their nature. All are instructive, and passages of rare eloquence are of frequent occurrence.—San Francisco Call.
The sermons are simple and careful studies, sometimes of doctrine, but more often of teaching and precept.—Chicago Times.
He combined scholarly attainment with practical experience, and these sermons cover a wide range of subject. Some of them are singularly modern in tone.—Indianapolis News.
They are modern sermons, dealing with the problems of the day, and convey the interpretation which these problems should receive in the light of the Old Testament history.—Boston Herald.
While this book is not without interest in those communities where there is no scarcity of religious teaching and influence, it cannot fail to be particularly so in those communities where there is but little Jewish teaching.—Baltimore American.
The sermons are thoughtful and earnest in tone and draw many forcible and pertinent lessons from the Old Testament records.—Syracuse Herald.
They are saturated with Bible lore, but every incident taken from the Old Testament is made to illustrate some truth in modern life.—San Francisco Chronicle.
They are calm and conservative, ... applicable in their essential meaning to the modern religious needs of Gentile as well as Jew. In style they are eminently clear and direct.--Review of Reviews (New York).
Able, forcible, helpful thoughts upon themes most essential to the prosperity of the family, society and the state.—Public Opinion (Washington, D.C.).

PAPERS
OF THE
Jewish Women's Congress
Held at Chicago, September, 1893
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
This meeting was held during the first week of September, and was marked by the presentation of some particularly interesting addresses and plans. This volume is a complete report of the sessions.—Chicago Times.
The collection in book form of the papers read at the Jewish Women's Congress ... makes an interesting and valuable book, of the history and affairs of the Jewish women of America.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

OLD EUROPEAN JEWRIES
BY DAVID PHILIPSON, D.D.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
A good purpose is served in this unpretending little book, ... which contains an amount and kind of information that it would be difficult to find elsewhere without great labor. The author's subject is the Ghetto, or Jewish quarter in European cities.—Literary World (Boston).
It is interesting ... to see the foundation of ... so much fiction that is familiar to us—to go, as the author here has gone in one of his trips abroad, into the remains of the old Jewries.—Baltimore Sun.
His book is a careful study limited to the official Ghetto.—Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette.
Out-of-the-way information, grateful to the delver in antiquities, forms the staple of a work on the historic Ghettos of Europe—Milwaukee Sentinel.
He tells the story of the Ghettos calmly, sympathetically and conscientiously, and his deductions are in harmony with those of all other intelligent and fair-minded men.—Richmond Dispatch.
A striking study of the results of a system that has left its mark upon the Jews of all countries.—San Francisco Chronicle.
He has carefully gone over all published accounts and made discriminating use of the publications, both recent and older, on his subject, in German, French and English.—Reform Advocate (Chicago).
