DOUBLE ALLEGIANCE.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] I respectfully challenge you to produce a single in- stance of " a man of the Jewish religion " who was or is "necessarily " or at all "a man with a double allegiance.' I venture to assert that no Hebrew has ever been in such a dilemma. (2) I am in honour bound—after a long and assiduous experience as a reader—to admit your claim to be free of bad faith in your criticism of the Hebrew race. I know no journal more judicial. But this enhances your fundamental error—which has cost many a Jew his life. Corruptio judicis' [We think our review of Mr. Zangwill's book exhibits the case of a few whose well-known British ideals become quite changed by their application to Jewish ends.—En. Spectator.]
