"a case of the pot calling the ket-

GAPS IN THE WORK
With all his mining, DR.. Mod
der has omitted good deal of
material which has not yet been
exploited. I am referring to the
early character sketches in which
there are many illusions to Jews,
and also to the literary journals.
Richard Cumberland, about $50
years ago, prefaces long let
ter in the observer" which he
edited, purportedly written by a
Jew, Abraham Abrahams, with a
short essay on the plight of the
Jews, which begins as follows:
/ remember to have read
an account in a foreign Ga
Zette of a dreadful fire which
broke out so suddenly in a
house where a great many
people were assembled, that
five hundred persisted miser-
ably in the flames; the COM
piler of this account subjOins
at the foot of the above mel
anchOly article, that it is
with satisfaction he can as
sure his readers, ALL THE
ABOVE PERSONS WERE
JEWS.
These poor people seem the
butt, at which all sects and
persuasions level their con-
tempt. They are sojourners
and aliens in every kingdom
on earth, and yet few have
the hospitality to give them
a welcome. I do not know
any good reason why these
unhappy wanderers are so
treated, for they do not in
trude upon the laborer or
manufacturer; they do not

ton and evaluation. Thus Sheri-
dams anti-JeWish feeling is
CLOSED over as counterbalanced,
according to the author, by an
other play which is more chart
table to the Jews. It would be
more to the purpose to point out
that Sheridan was a buffoon and
his farces were in keeping with
his unpublished and vulgar person
atty, making capital out of dis
torted Jewish dialect stunts, mis-
pronunciation, and foreign accent.
When he cites FrOude on Car
lyle as having ga true TeutOnic
aversion for that unfortunate
race" because che thought them
lacking i'm humOr-a fatal defect
i'm his eyeS-and maintained that
they had contributed nothing be-

have added that Carlyle, for all
his attempts at humOr, like "Sar-
tor Resartus," was merely a plOd-

The Jew In
The Literature
Of England
By A. A. ROBACK
LITERARY NOTE

1t is not often that the Jewish
Publication Society brings out a
volume by a nOn-Jew, the reason
being probably that when a Gen
tile writes on Jewish matters, the
book is either too academic or too
journalistic.
Prof. M. F. Modder's 1.-THE Jew
in the Literature of England" is
neither the one, nor the other. It
is scholarly and very comprehen-
sive, and therefore a good choice,
even though the subject has been
handled several times before in
slender books. The treatment,
however, by DR.. Philipson and DR..
Calish, had been more like extend
ed addresses or book reviews deal
ing with a limited number (no
more than ten) Of English novels
and plays centering around Jew
ish-Gentile relations. Landa, in
England has specialized in the
drama, but even he did not pre-
tend to be exhaustive.
IN TRADITION OF
SCHOLARSHIP
MOdder, trained in modern re-
search methods, has covered the
field extensively, citing passages
from essays, journals, short stOr-
les, letters, etc; and he even re-
ports conversations. His book of
more than 400 pages provides the
historical background and rela-
tiOnships for the literary express
SiOns. 1t is this groundwork which
makes the volume both import
ant and instructive. In addition,
there is considerable filigree,
which makes it attractive read
ing even if occasionally the style
smacks of a dOctOrate disserta-
ton with its stereOtyped phrase
OlOgy.
Perhaps the book would have
become too wieldy, but one feels
that there is enough interpreted

With the increasing concentration

Poultry diseases have added mater

The general drift OF diseased or dead
