T. P. O’Connor in ‘The Weekly Sun.’—‘Apart altogether from its great artistic merits, from its clear portraits, its subtle and skilful analysis of character, its pathos and its humour, this book has, in my mind, an immense interest as a record of a generation that has passed and of struggles that are yet going on.’
The Manchester Guardian.—‘The best Jewish novel ever written.’

THE KING OF SCHNORRERS
Grotesques and Fantasies
By I. ZANGWILL
With over Ninety Illustrations by Phil May and Others
In One Volume, price 6s.
The Athenæum.—‘Several of Mr. Zangwill’s contemporary Ghetto characters have already become almost classical; but in The King of Schnorrers he goes back to the Jewish community of the eighteenth century for the hero of his principal story; and he is indeed a stupendous hero ... anyhow, he is well named the king of beggars. The illustrations, by Phil May, add greatly to the attraction of the book.’
