bound by an hundred ties to the past, but he has outgrown that past; with freedom has come the larger outlook; the unquenchable optimism, the homely virtues, the beautiful faith of his fathers of the Ghetto, are a precious undying heritage, but strange customs and peculiarities that have outlived their meaning and usefulness he has sloughed. In the Ghetto novel that is true to the life he sees a picrure of that past existence with all that it implies; he thanks his God that the light of freedom is shining brightly in many lands, and he prays that where the darkness of oppression still broods this light may soon penetrate; in spite of many untoward appearances that seem to indicate reaction, he will not lose hope that the age of Ghettoism is really past, and that where this still lingers it must give way to the increasing purpose that runs through the ages, for the high hopes of the prophets of the human race shall not be disappointed, and the day shall dawn when hatred and oppression shall be no more, and justice, love and peace shall rule among men. BIBLIOGRAPHY ОР JEWISH LIFE IN ENGLISH FICTION COMPILED BY MISS REBECCA SCHNEIDER This bibliography attempts to include all fiction, in book form, touching upon Jewish life, that has been written in English and published in England and America. It does not include that large class of fiction which has been translated into English. The books are arranged by the country in which the scene of the story is laid. This list was originally published in 1916 by the New York State Library School, Albany, N. Y., and is here reprinted by permission. The publishers have brought it up to date by including the more recent fiction, appearing since 1916. [Many of the books in this list are out of print. Such that are still in print can be obtained from Bloch Publishing Co., New York. Prices quoted on request.] GENERAL Bien, Hermann M. Ben-Beor: a story of the Anti-Messiah. Balto., 1891.
