A Book of Jewish Thoughts. Selected and arranged by the

Chief Rabbi. (H. Milford. 4e. 6d. net)—Dr. Hertz has enlarged the anthology whith he made during the war for the use of Jewish sailors and soldiers. The new edition is well worth reading, particularly the concluding sections, "The Voice of Prayer" and "The Voice of Wisdom," in which the editor draws largely upon the Talmud and the later Jewish sages.' The sections headed "The People of the Book" and "The Testimony of the Nations" abound in historical references and include the British Government's Zionist declaration. The saying that "Every country has the .Jews it deserves" is attributed to Karl Emil Frances, the novelist, and dated 1875.
