SOME PRESS NOTICES

ABOUT THE JEWS SINCE BIBLE TIMES.

BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

Her history impresses us with a sense of truthfulness and of fairness quite exceptional. THE ACADEMY.

A very readable and popular account of most things that ought to be known about the chosen people in their later development. SATURDAY REVIEW.

The result of careful study, and written with candour and moderation. PALL MALL GAZETTE.

A model of sober-minded terseness.... That freshness adds to the pleasure with which this useful and instructive book is sure to be read. GRAPHIC.

A book that should achieve deserved popularity. WESTMINSTER REVIEW.

Conscientiously written, and contains much information. Several portions are notably good. THE WORLD.

An eloquent and brilliant work of its kind. GLASGOW HERALD.

Pleasantly and impartially written.... We sincerely hope that Mrs. MAGNUS will execute her intention of carrying on the history of the Jews to the present day. JOURNAL OF EDUCATION.

Mrs. MAGNUS ... writes with considerable breadth. Her chapters are full of interest. Her estimates of Jewish character and of the causes of national pursuits and characteristics are very suggestive. BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.

The Authoress is never unfair, even when the most melancholy tales of spoliation and grief are being told by her. She has succeeded in treating a very difficult subject with more than the profundity and exactitude that are the attributes of a solid history writer. PUBLIC OPINION.

A clear, spirited, and on the whole a fairly impartial narrative.... Taken altogether ... combine to form a work of rare interest. SCOTSMAN.

A distinct gain to general knowledge on the subject of the Jews. JEWISH WORLD.

Even after making all deductions, we must pronounce Mrs. MAGNUS history to be above all praise, and we trust that she will continue it down to the present day. JEWISH CHRONICLE.

To do the lady justice, she has succeeded where even Dean MILMAN has failed in making Jewish history interesting to the general reader. We have read it through from cover to cover with unflagging interest. THE LITERARY WORLD.

As interesting as a book of adventures or a novel, and much more profitable. MODERN REVIEW.

TO THE DEAR MEMORY

EDWARD JANVERIN EMANUEL

PREFACE.

THESE Outlines of Jewish History are the result of a proposal which was made to me, some two years back, by the administrators of the Jacob Franklin Trust, to write a book which should tell the history of the Jews from Biblical times to the present day, in a form which should fit it for use in schools and homes. A right of reference to Dr. Friedlnder, the learned Principal of Jews College, was one of the privileges of my commission, and the bringing to him of all my doubts and difficulties for decision has proved not only an advantage to my book, but a pleasure to me.

The trouble I have had in endeavouring to keep the book simple enough for youthful readers, suggests the possible presence of a weak point, and tempts me to forestall criticism by urging that I have, at least, been mindful on this head, and have patiently done my best. But so complicated a history, and so advanced a civilisation as that of the Jews, is not quite susceptible of entirely simple treatment. They stained their bodies with a plant called woad is a perfectly comprehensive if somewhat bald bit of history, adapted to the use of schools, anent the ancient Britons. In their schools they laid the foundations for the Mishnah would be a correct contemporaneous statement concerning the ancient Jews, but one that hardly lends itself to such comfortable brevity and simplicity of style. I can only plead that I have told the whole sad, beautiful, heroic history of my race with the keenest sympathy; and I can only hope that the moral and the meaning of it all, which are so very clear to me, may be found to shine out between the lines.

KATIE MAGNUS.
