OLD EUROPEAN JEWRIES
BY DAVID PHILIPSON, D.D.
=OPINIONS OF THE PRESS=
A good purpose is served in this unpretending little book, ... which
contains an amount and kind of information that it would be difficult to
find elsewhere without great labor. The author's subject is the Ghetto,
or Jewish quarter in European cities.--_Literary World_ (Boston).
It is interesting ... to see the foundation of ... so much fiction that
is familiar to us--to go, as the author here has gone in one of his
trips abroad, into the remains of the old Jewries.--_Baltimore Sun._
His book is a careful study limited to the official Ghetto.--_Cincinnati
Commercial-Gazette._
Out-of-the-way information, grateful to the delver in antiquities, forms
the staple of a work on the historic Ghettos of Europe--_Milwaukee
Sentinel._
He tells the story of the Ghettos calmly, sympathetically and
conscientiously, and his deductions are in harmony with those of all
other intelligent and fair-minded men.--_Richmond Dispatch._
A striking study of the results of a system that has left its mark upon
the Jews of all countries.--_San Francisco Chronicle._
He has carefully gone over all published accounts and made
discriminating use of the publications, both recent and older, on his
subject, in German, French and English.--_Reform Advocate_ (Chicago).
