Children ofhe Ghe4o, Being Pictures Of a Pc
c1iI,dr PeOplp BY /. ZASGwELL. author OF
the Bachelors Club" Two volumes.
Philadelphia: The Jewish Publication
Society.
The characters in tho first volume are
largely Russian and Polish Jews whose en-
vironments in the London Ghetto are
pitiable. The Ansells are among the
most poverty-stricken of these I'M
fortunate people, but Esther Ansell, the
heroine, is an example Of what ambi-
ton and education can accomplish IN
the way OF taking ono from lower TO
higher scale. The second volume deals
with the grandchildren Of the Ghetto,
whose surroundings are those of comfort
and retirement, and into which circle
E,thcr enters for a while. A particularly
fine character is the learned, charitable,
aud selt-denying "Reb." Shemuel. Inc
pictures of the manners and customs OF
the chosen people IN the cOnge'ted pOrllon
Of the Ghetto are very interesting, While
their sufferings are calculated to excite the
deepest sympathy.
