Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. "England, thanks to the Huguenots, Mr. Cobden, the Slave Trade, the Jews, and an inherent capacity for taking large views of grave national questions, has been the last country in all the world to question, or even to examine, the doctrine that uninterrupted ingress for men, women, and merchandise of other nations, is essential to and advantageous to her national life. There are, however, no longer wanting signs that the reign of this dogma is not to continue without challenge." - Introduction. "In 1881 and 1882 a violent if somewhat intermittent persecution had been directed against the Jews in Russia. Realizing, as best they could, such poor possessions as they owned, and departing with all possible haste, the expatriated wretches made every attempt to reach a more hospitable land: those who could muster the passage-money were bound for America; the rest, the more destitute and the elderly ones (the great majority of the exodus), were hoping to settle in the great English towns." - p 168-169.
