Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... THE JEW IN FRANCE The lot of the Jews in France was, if anything, worse than that of their co-religionists across the Channel. Their sojourn in that country was a constant succession of persecutions, banishments, and returns. We find the French kings banishing the Jews from their dominions, only to recall them a few years later to provide the money necessary for the administration of Government or for a Crusade. Philip Augustus, Louis IX., and Philip the Fair, after expelling the race, were obliged to welcome them back. Without the Jews, the French monarchy would have become bankrupt. The poverty of the early Capets, and to a certain extent also of the House of Valois, was owing to the fact that the monarchy was surrounded by powerful vassals, each one of whom was little inferior in power to the king himself, who defied the latter when it suited his pleasure, and who collected the taxes of his county or dukedom and coined money with as much freedom as did the king at Paris. There were many periods in the history of mediaeval France when a duke of Normandy or a count of Flanders or a duke of Burgundy eclipsed his sovereign in resources and military strength. Such being the case French kings had not at their disposal the resources of their country as had the kings of England. The strong rule of the Conqueror and his sons had set limits to the power of feudalism, which the early Capets were too weak to restrain, and had thus secured to their successors a compact well-ordered kingdom prepared to second with its resources the sovereign when he went to war.

Seller's Description:
Good. "The circumstances under which the wealth, the power, and the numbers of the Jewish race domiciled in this country are likely to be indefinitely increased seem to call for more prescience and thought at the hands of our rulers than have yet been bestowed upon them. To make people think is the object of this book. Should they refuse, they will wake up one morning only to discover that they have parted with the realities of national life, and are dominated by cosmopolitan and materialist influences fatal to the existence of the English nation."-Introduction. Chapters include: What is a Jew? ; The Problem in Russia; The Jew in Austria/America/France/England/The Argentine Colonies; The Aloofness of Israel; Money Lenders; The Destitute Alien in Great Britain; Zionism; "Darkest Russia"; The Conversion of the Jews; Jewish Humour. pp xvii, 301, 32 [ads]. 7.5 x 5.3 inches. Quarter-bound in black leather and olive cloth. Gilt lettering to spine. Top edge gilt. Modest lean to spine. Binding intact. Prior owner's name, dated 1899, inked atop front free endpaper.
