This gave rise to a popular belief that the idolatrous cultus of the Golden Calf still lingered among them. (Schudt: _Jüdische Merckwürdigkeiten_ (1714), Vol. II., p. 376.) [32] _Biarritz_, Vol. I., pp. 130-180. Further characteristic references to the Jewish question will be found in a later novel of the Retcliffe series entitled _Um die Weltherrschaft_, Vol. I., pp. 309-310, 338, 360, 415; Vol. II., pp. 55, 56, 63; Vol. III., pp. 127, 130; Vol. IV., pp. 190-191, 467; Vol. V., pp. 22, 83-84, 206.

The story is repeated with further variations, in the fourth edition, published in 1917, extracts from which are given in the _Morning Post_, August 12, 1920. In this edition Nilus quotes certain enigmatic statements of the late Theodor Herzl as proof of a secret Jewish teaching. It happens that the correspondence with Herzl on this subject is in the possession of the present writer. It has nothing to do with a secret Jewish teaching. [41] Fourth edit., cap. III.
