Part 71

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 Judæa 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.

SOME JEWISH WOMEN.

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).
