EIGHTEEN SERMONS BY ISRAEL ABRAHAMS

AND

CLAUDE MONTEFIORE,

SECOND EDITION,

INCLUDING TWO ADDITIONAL SERMONS.

Fcap. 8vo, 3s. 6d. net.

TIMES.-'There is a great deal in them that does not appeal to Jews alone, for,
especially in Mr. Montefiore's addresses, the doctrines advocated, with much charm of
style, are often not by any means exclusively Jewish, but such as are shared and honoured
by all who care for religion and morality as those terms are commonly understood in the
western world."

JEWISH CHRONICLE.—' The study of a work by these two authors is like an
intimate acquaintance with a charming and cultured person-it is a liberal education in
itself, a study fertile in interest, and fruitful of good.. There are not many books
published in the present day of which it can be said that they will do no harm, and
unlimited good. But of this book it is possible to say so, and higher praise cannot be
given.'

SPECTATOR.-'Interesting and suggestive.'

JEWISH CHRONICLE.-'The scholarship, the spiritual insight, the attractive style which distinguished the first part of Mr. Montefiore's Bible for Home Reading are dis played in their fullest development in the second part, now happily published. But, good as the older book was, the new is even better. Mr. Montefiore had indeed a great responsibility. How wonderfully he has risen to the occasion, how splendid a use he has made of the opportunity, we shall endeavour to show. But we cannot refrain from saying that this book is the despair of a reviewer. One cannot hope to do justice to such a work when its 800 pages are full to overflowing of learning simply utilized, of moral truths reverently enunciated, of spiritual possibilities forcibly realized, while over all there hovers a charm indefinable, yet easily and inevitably felt by any reader of the book. We will, however, try to indicate some of the excellencies of Mr. Montefiore's book, the publication of which is the most important literary event of recent years, so far as the English-speaking Jews are concerned.... As masterly as it is spiritual, as scholarly as it is attractive.'

BRITISH WEEKLY.-'Although primarily intended for the use of Jewish homes, Mr. Montefiore's edition of the Bible cannot fail to find its way into the hands of Christian parents. These will find in it much to instruct and much to edify.... If in some respects readers are likely to differ from his judgments, they will certainly recognize that this is a felicitous and instructive method of dealing with the Bible.'

CHRISTIAN WORLD.-' Like its predecessor, full of deep interest for a wider than the Jewish circle to which it is immediately addressed.'
