MODERN JUDAISM, or a brief ACCOUNT of the OPINIONS, TRADITIONS, RITES, and CEREMONIES of the Jews in Modern Times. By JOHN ALLEN. With a Plate, representing a Rabbi dressed for Prayers. 8vo. price 12s. boards.
"The Work describes, with fidelity, the tenets and manners of the modern Synagogue, taken from the most. authentic sources of information..
"The greater number of the statements contained in this volume, are supported by written authorities, to which the Author constantly and particularly refers. He has been careful also to satisfy himself fully of the authenticity of the few accounts which have been communicated orally; while he has himself witnessed some of the numerous circumstances which he describes."
"The Public are much indebted to Mr. Allen, for the pains which he has taken to furnish this portraiture of modern Judaism. It is almost a reproach, for persons who acknowledge the authority of the Bible, to be unac-quainted with the present opinions and ceremonies of a people, whose history, and the records of whose civil and religious polity, constitute so large a portion of it. Though they live in the midst of us, and mingle with us, how little do the Christians of Britain know concerning them! The present Work supplies a very important deside ra tum, and the spirit of the Author we can most cordially applaud. "Modern Judaism" will afford its readers no. small degree of information and amusement."-Eclectic Review, May..
