OUTLINES OF JEWISH HISTORY.
From the Return from Babylon to the Present Time, 1890.
With Three Maps, a Frontispiece and Chronological Tables,
BY LADY MAGNUS.
REVISED BY M. FRIEDLÄNDER, PH.D.
=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._
