Jewish life, some of which are of great interest, while all are well written.--_Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier._ The little volume as a whole is curious and interesting, aside from its claims to artistic merit.--_American Bookseller_ (New York). Short tales of Jewish life under the oppressive laws of Eastern Europe, full of minute detail.--_Book News_ (Philadelphia). Written in delightful style, somewhat in the manner of Kompert and Bernstein.... To many the booklet will be a welcome visitor and be greatly relished.--_Menorah Monthly._ These stories are permeated with the Jewish spirit which is characteristic of all Mr. Schnabel's works.--_American Hebrew._ Paper. Price, postpaid, 25c. CHILDREN OF THE GHETTO _BEING_ PICTURES OF A PECULIAR PEOPLE. 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 Judaea 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._ TWO VOLUMES. Bound in Cloth. Price, postpaid, $2.50. SOME JEWISH WOMEN. BY HENRY ZIRNDORF. =_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._= Moral purity, nobility of soul, self-sacrifice, deep affection and devotion, sorrow
