ABOUT THIS BOOK

A survey of Jewish contributions to world civilization across 16

chapters by Ada Sterling, author also of "A Belle of the Fifties"

and "Mary, Queen of Scots." Chapters cover the Jew as citizen and

patriot, in industry, commerce, finance, philanthropy, literature,

art, music, mathematics and physics, medicine, agriculture,

jurisprudence, statesmanship, and as a moral force. Published in

the early 1920s — a period of significant anti-Semitic sentiment

in America including the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and Henry Ford's

Dearborn Independent — the book represents an affirmative counter-

narrative of Jewish achievement. Now in the public domain and

preserved by the Internet Archive and digitized by multiple

institutions as a work of cultural importance. Original hardcover

first editions are increasingly scarce.
