SOME PRESS NOTICES

OF

ABOUT THE JEWS SINCE BIBLE TIMES.

BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

‘Her history impresses us with a sense of truthfulness and of fairness quite exceptional.’—THE ACADEMY.

‘A very readable and popular account of most things that ought to be known about the chosen people in their later development.’—SATURDAY REVIEW.

‘The result of careful study, and written with candour and moderation.’—PALL MALL GAZETTE.

‘A model of sober-minded terseness.... That freshness adds to the pleasure with which this useful and instructive book is sure to be read.’—GRAPHIC.

‘A book that should achieve deserved popularity.’—WESTMINSTER REVIEW.

‘Conscientiously written, and contains much information. Several portions are notably good.’—THE WORLD.

‘An eloquent and brilliant work of its kind.’—GLASGOW HERALD.

‘Pleasantly and impartially written.... We sincerely hope that Mrs. MAGNUS will execute her intention of carrying on the history of the Jews to the present day.’—JOURNAL OF EDUCATION.

‘Mrs. MAGNUS ... writes with considerable breadth. Her chapters are full of interest. Her estimates of Jewish character and of the causes of national pursuits and characteristics are very suggestive.’—BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.

‘The Authoress is never unfair, even when the most melancholy tales of spoliation and grief are being told by her. She has succeeded in treating a very difficult subject with more than the profundity and exactitude that are the attributes of a solid history writer.’—PUBLIC OPINION.

‘A clear, spirited, and on the whole a fairly impartial narrative.... Taken altogether ... combine to form a work of rare interest.’—SCOTSMAN.

‘A distinct gain to general knowledge on the subject of the Jews.’—JEWISH WORLD.

‘Even after making all deductions, we must pronounce Mrs. MAGNUS’ history to be above all praise, and we trust that she will continue it down to the present day.’—JEWISH CHRONICLE.

‘To do the lady justice, she has succeeded where even Dean MILMAN has failed in making Jewish history interesting to the general reader. We have read it through from cover to cover with unflagging interest.’—THE LITERARY WORLD.

‘As interesting as a book of adventures or a novel, and much more profitable.’—MODERN REVIEW.
