From the Reign of Hyrcanus to the Completion of the Babylonian Talmud (500 C.E.). Vol. III. From the Completion of the Babylonian Talmud to the Banishment of the Jews from England (1290 C.E.). Vol. IV. From the Rise of the Kabbala (1270 C.E.) to the Permanent Settlement of the Marranos in Holland (1618 C.E.). Vol. V. In preparation. =OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.= Professor Graetz's History is universally accepted as a conscientious and reliable contribution to religious literature.--_Philadelphia Telegraph._ Aside from his value as a historian, he makes his pages charming by all the little side-lights and illustrations which only come at the beck of genius.--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._ The writer, who is considered by far the greatest of Jewish historians, is the pioneer in his field of work--history without theology or polemics.... His monumental work promises to be the standard by which all other Jewish histories are to be measured by Jews for many years to come.--_Baltimore American._ Whenever the subject constrains the author to discuss the Christian religion, he is animated by a spirit not unworthy of the philosophic and high-minded hero of Lessing's "Nathan the Wise."--_New York Sun._ It is an exhaustive and scholarly work, for which the student of history has reason to be devoutly thankful.... It will be welcomed also for the writer's excellent style and for the almost gossipy way in which he turns aside from the serious narrative to illumine his pages with illustrative descriptions of life and scenery.--_Detroit Free Press._ One of the striking features of the compilation is its succinctness and rapidity of narrative, while at the same time necessary detail is not sacrificed.--_Minneapolis Tribune._ Whatever controversies the work may awaken, of its noble scholarship there can be no question.--_Richmond Dispatch._ If one desires to study the history of the Jewish people under the direction of a scholar and pleasant writer who is in sympathy with his subject because he is himself a Jew, he should resort to the volumes of Graetz.--_Review of Reviews_ (New York).
