The Jewish Child: Its History, Folklore, Biology, and Sociology

Abstract

DR. FELDMAN'S study of the Jewish child should be of interest to English readers for at least two reasons. First, because out of a total of twelve million Jews in the world, one-fifth are, at present, living in English-speaking countries—more than two millions in America, and less than a quarter of a million (240,000, to be exact) in the United Kingdom. The second reason is that the British Government, with the consent of the Allies, proposes to use its best endeavours to establish, under the Ægis of the British Government, a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine, where they might be at liberty to develop in accordance with their national aspirations.

The Jewish Child: Its History, Folklore, Biology, and Sociology.

By W. M. Feldman. With introduction by Sir James Crichton-Browne. Pp. xxvi + 453. (London: Baillière, Tindall, and Cox, 1917.) Price 10s. 6d. net.
