“Rapport de l’Administration Centrale ...” of the I. C. A.
for 1909. Paris, 1910. pp. 251–308.
61 ‒ See _Jew. Encyclopedia_, Vol. III, p. 326–27.
62 ‒ Those who want to follow up the subject, which is
by no means uninteresting, are referred to _Early
Jewish Literature in America_, by Geo. A. Kohut, in
“Publications” III, pp. 103–47, and to J. D. Eisenstein’s
_The Development of Jewish Casuistic Literature in
America_, ibid. XII, pp. 139–47.
63 ‒ See Dr. B. Drachman, _Neo-Hebraic Literature in America_,
appended to the Seventh Biennial Report of the Jewish
Theological Seminary Ass’n (New York, 1900).
64 ‒ The figures are based on the exhaustive though necessarily
incomplete _Directory of Jewish Local Organizations in
the United States_, which appeared in the “American-Jewish
Year Book” for 5668 (published in 1907), and allowance
must be made for some omissions, as well as for increases
in the last five years.
