Originally published in 1915 PREFACE: The author of the following pages may be truly described as "An Hebrew of all Hebrews" He was born in Jerusalem, the son of a Jewish Rabbi; who was so intense a nationalist that he would use no language but Hebrew. Born of such parentage, he maintained, as a Christian, the full fervoir of Jewish patriotism.... This is a fascinating look at the history of Jews and will appeal to all historians. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
