OUTLINES OF JEWISH HISTORY.
From the Return from Babylon to the Present Time, 1890.
With Three Maps, a Frontispiece and Chronological Tables,
BY LADY MAGNUS.
REVISED BY M. FRIEDLAeNDER, PH.D.
=OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.=
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._
We know of no single-volume history which gives a better idea of the remarkable part played by the Jews in ancient and modern history.--_San Francisco Chronicle._
A succinct, well-written history of a wonderful race.--_Buffalo Courier._
The best hand-book of Jewish history that readers of any class can find.--_New York Herald._
A convenient and attractive hand-book of Jewish history.--_Cleveland Plain Dealer._
The work is an admirable one, and as a manual of Jewish history, it may be commended to persons of every race and creed.--_Philadelphia Times._
Altogether it would be difficult to find another book on this subject containing so much information.--_American_ (Philadelphia).
Lady Magnus' book is a valuable addition to the store-house of literature that we already have about the Jews.--_Charleston (S. C.) News._
We should like to see this volume in the library of every school in the State.--_Albany Argus._
A succinct, helpful portrayal of Jewish history.--_Boston Post._
Bound in Cloth. Price, postpaid, $1.00, Library Edition.
75 cents. School Edition.
"THINK AND THANK."
A Tale for the Young, Narrating in Romantic Form the Boyhood of Sir Moses Montefiore.
WITH SIX ILLUSTRATIONS.
BY SAMUEL W. COOPER.
=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._
A fine book for boys of any class to read.--_Public Opinion_ (Washington).
It will have especial interest for the boys of his race, but all school-boys can well afford to read it and profit by it.--_Albany Evening Journal._
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._
RABBI AND PRIEST has genuine worth, and is entitled to a rank among the foremost of its class.--_Minneapolis Tribune._
The writer tells his story from the Jewish standpoint, and tells it well.--_St. Louis Republic._
The descriptions of life in Russia are vivid and add greatly to the charm of the book.--_Buffalo Courier._
A very thrilling story.--_Charleston (S.C.) News._
Very like the horrid tales that come from unhappy Russia.--_New Orleans Picayune._
The situations are dramatic; the dialogue is spirited.--_Jewish Messenger._
A history of passing events in an interesting form.--_Jewish Tidings._
RABBI AND PRIEST will appeal to the sympathy of every reader in its touching simplicity and truthfulness.--_Jewish Spectator._
Bound in Cloth. Price, postpaid, $1.
SPECIAL SERIES NO. 1.

WITH A MAP, SHOWING THE PALE OF JEWISH SETTLEMENT.
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.
SPECIAL SERIES NO. 2.
Voegele's Marriage and Other Tales.
BY LOUIS SCHNABEL.
=OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.=
A series of nine well-written short stories based upon love and religion, which make quite interesting reading.--_Burlington Hawkeye._
A pamphlet containing several sketches full of high moral principle, and of quite interesting developments of simple human emergencies.--_Public Opinion_ (Washington, D. C.)
Interesting alike to Hebrew and Gentile.--_Minneapolis Tribune._
In addition to being interesting, is written with a purpose, and carries with it a wholesome lesson.--_San Francisco Call._
This is a collection of brief stories of Jewish life, some of which are of great interest, while all are well written.--_Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier._
The little volume as a whole is curious and interesting, aside from its claims to artistic merit.--_American Bookseller_ (New York).
Short tales of Jewish life under the oppressive laws of Eastern Europe, full of minute detail.--_Book News_ (Philadelphia).
Written in delightful style, somewhat in the manner of Kompert and Bernstein.... To many the booklet will be a welcome visitor and be greatly relished.--_Menorah Monthly._
These stories are permeated with the Jewish spirit which is characteristic of all Mr. Schnabel's works.--_American Hebrew._
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."--S_t. 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).
Bound in Cloth. Price, postpaid, $3 per Volume
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._
