[*] Adler, Cyrus, and Szold, Henrietta. American Jewish year-book (1905-1906). [*]75c. Jewish pub.
“This is the seventh annual issue of this work, and its regular appearance is henceforth assured. The special feature of the present issue is a sort of ‘who’s who’ compilation of biographical sketches of Jewish communal workers in the United States. The review of the past year, by Mr. Max L. Margolis, is a record of melancholy interest.”—Dial.

Adler, Elkin Nathan. Jews in many lands. $1.25. Jewish pub.
The author has made a study of his coreligionists in many countries, at first visiting them professionally as an agent of the Holy Land relief fund, later to investigate their conditions for personal reasons. He went to Egypt in 1888, and later to Persia, the Holy Land, Russia and Argentina, where he studied the Hirsch colonies. He gives a full account of his people as he found them.
“The author has made extensive travels and tells his story well, though omitting many details which would give greater value to his account.”
