uent, so readily
understood is to have placed all who are interested in thought and
thinkers under great obligation. That an American-Jewish scholar should
have produced a pioneer work that must, for a long time to come, be the
authority in its field is a subject of felicitation to all who have at
heart the perpetuation of Jewish learning in America."

Studies in Judaism

BY RABBI SOLOMON SCHECHTER, LITT.D.

The author is President of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America
since 1902; formerly Reader in Talmudic, Cambridge University, and
Professor of Hebrew, University College of London, 1898-1902.

_Cloth, 12mo, 366 pages, $1.50_

"The book is, to our mind, the best on this subject ever written. The
author condenses a literature of several thousand pages into 564 pages,
and presents to us his history in a splendid English and splendid order.
This work deserves the highest appreciation, and without the slightest
hesitation do we recommend it to the public at large, and more especially
to our co-religionists in this country."
