If there are riddles in the history of the nations, then the Jewsmost certainly present one of the chief instances; and, whoeverhas occupied himself with the problems of humanity, withoutadvancing so far as the great problem of the Jews, has, sofar as knowledge and experience of life are concerned, merelyskimmed the surface of the subject. There is scarcely a field,from Art and Literature to Religion and Political Economy,from Politics to the most secret domains of sensuality andcriminality, in which the influence of the Jewish spirit and ofthe Jewish entity cannot be clearly traced, and has not imparteda peculiar warp or trend to the affairs in question.That the Jews, however, in spite of their dispersion amongstthe nations, still feel, at the present day, that they are a specialpeople and a special race, and that they feel themselves unitedmore by their common blood and race than by their religiouscreed, is testified to by one of the most illustrious amongstthe people of Israel.
