Excerpt from The Settlement of the Jews: In North America More than twenty years have now elapsed since Judge Daly's work was first presented to the public, yet I feel that no excuse or apology is necessary for its re-publication to-day. Mr. Daly, then Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas of this city, originally prepared the work in the form of an address delivered at the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Hebrew Benevolent Society of New York, on April 11, 1872, and then enlarged it for publication in The Jewish Times of that year. Subsequently, the accomplished and erudite author utilized a portion of the same data in an address delivered at the laying of the corner-stone of the new Hebrew Orphau Asylum, New York, May 17, 1883. It seems to me that the work has not lost the smallest element of interest since that time, but, on the contrary, appeals to-day to a much larger public than then, and, as, unfortunately, it did not appear in durable form, will seem to be new to the large majority of its readers of to-day.

A landmark work of Jewish history and a worldwide phenomenon when it was first published, this masterpiece of Jewish history was translated in multiple languages and instantly become the de facto standard in the field. German academic HEINRICH GRAETZ (1817-1891) brings a sympathetic Jewish perspective to the story of his own people, offering readers today an affectionate, passionate history, not a detached, clinical one. Backed by impeccable scholarship and originally published in German across 11 volumes between 1853 and 1875, this six-volume English-language edition was abridged under the direction of the author, and brought to American readers by the Jewish Publication Society of America in 1891. It remains an important work of the study of the Jewish religion and people to this day.

Excerpt from The Jewish Woman in America The dreadful tribunal spared neither age nor sex, and so we find old women, like Dona Catalina Enriquez of Vera Cruz, con demmed as Jewish heretics, at the age of eighty. She died in her cell September 25, 1644. At the trial of Gabriel of Grenada, which took place in the City of Mexico in 1642, no less than thirty-four Jewish women are mentioned; several of these are described as having died in prison, others as tortured by the Inquisition. As several of the fam ily names subsequently appear in the his tory of our thirteen colonies, it may not be amiss to mention a few of the names of such victims: Dona Blanca Mendes de Rivera, Beatrice Henriquez, Clara de Sylva, Maria Gomez, Isabel Nunez and others.
