The jcw at Home. By Joseph Pennell. (W. Heinemann.)—Mr. Pennell
saw a good deal of the Jew in Austria, and something of him in Russia. In neither place did he like him. In fact, he regards him much as his countrymen at home regard the China- man, considering that he is a curse to any country which he in- vades. In Austria he is free, it seems, to live his life after his own fashion. The result is, that his quarter in a city is a dis- - grace to civilisation. How he lives is a problem which does not find a ready answer. He may have an unparalleled skill in "haggling ;" but where there are none but his own brethren to haggle with, whence comes the profit P One thing Mr. Pennell tells us, he will not do, except in the rarest cases—work with his hands. However, these are difficult matters ; Mr. Pennell's skilful drawings may be enjoyed by every one. Whether he is right or wrong about the Jews, there can be no doubt about the drawings.
