Description
   From the intro: It was the author's intention to interest rather than instruct, to suggest the importance of certain authors and books, perhaps to rouse the reader to probe deeper than the writer himself has done in subjects of which here the mere surface is touched. Many of the papers found in this volume appeared in a popular weekly, the London Jewish World, while others were specially written for this volume. The books discussed within are worthy of consideration. Beyond doubt, most of them belong to the category of the significant and some of them even attain the rank of epoch making. These papers are offered to those familiar as well as to those unfamiliar with the works themselves.
