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.
