Author: WHITE, ARNOLD [1848-1925]
Title: The Modern Jew
Description: London: William Heinemann, 1899. First Edition. Hardcover. "The circumstances under which the wealth, the power, and the numbers of the Jewish race domiciled in this country are likely to be indefinitely increased seem to call for more prescience and thought at the hands of our rulers than have yet been bestowed upon them. To make people think is the object of this book. Should they refuse, they will wake up one morning only to discover that they have parted with the realities of national life, and are dominated by cosmopolitan and materialist influences fatal to the existence of the English nation." - Introduction.
