accessible to English readers the most authentic, comprehensive and
thorough statement of the Cuban question that has emanated from the
press. It has the advantage of presenting the subject in a spirit
free from the rancors of the present armed conflict between the
Cuban colonists and the mother country, the original work having
been published in Cuba and throughout Spain some years before the
present struggle began. It commanded the universal attention of the
Spanish-speaking world from its first publication in 1887, since which
time it has gone through eight editions in the Spanish, successively
amplified by the author with notes, appendices and illustrations.
Señor Cabrera deals with his subject-matter from the vantage ground of
an acknowledged leadership of the Autonomist party of Cuba, and his
work, although voicing the demands of the Cuban people for reforms
which Spain has constantly postponed or absolutely refused, has
commanded the recognition and the respect of Spanish statesmen of the
first rank.
With scholarly insight and a thorough analysis, Señor Cabrera traces
the existing social, political and economic condition of Cuba and its
people with an impartial pen, in brief but effective outlines and in
a lucid and trenchant style. No other contribution to the literature
of this important subject compares with this work as an authoritative
presentation, and as such it appeals to the attention of the American
public.

THE JEWISH YEAR
Illustrated by Pictures of Old-Time Jewish Family Life, Customs and
Observances. From the Paintings by
PROFESSOR MORITZ OPPENHEIM
With Historical and Explanatory Text by
LOUIS EDWARD LEVY
An Imperial Folio Volume (17 x 21)
Containing 20 Levytype Autoglyphic Reproductions of the original
Paintings, mounted on boards, and some 50 folio pages of superbly
printed text, securely bound in heavy half Russia covers.
In addition to the 20 Autoglyphs of Oppenheim's celebrated paintings,
this sumptuous volume contains a line reproduction of a notable work by
Leopold Horovitz, and the text itself is furthermore embellished and
illustrated by numerous effective relief etchings representing various
incidents and accessories of Jewish religious observance.
The twenty-one impressive compositions are collated in illustration of
the Jewish year; they represent the successive festivals, fasts and
holidays of the religious year, the various aspects of the Sabbath, and
the distinctive customs and observances of Jewish family life.
The following is a list of the subjects:--
1. Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread. 2. Shabuoth, The Feast of
Weeks. 3. Tisha B'Ab, The Feast of the Ninth Day of Ab. 4. Kal Nidre,
Eve of The Day of Atonement. 5. Succoth, The Feast of Tabernacles. 6.
Hanukah, The Feast of the Dedication. 7. Purim, The Feast of Esther.
8. Beginning of Sabbath. 9. Sabbath Eve. 10. Sabbath Afternoon. 11.
Sabbath Rest. 12. Close of Sabbath. 13. The Rite of the Covenant
(B'rith Milah). 14. The First Birthday. 15. The Rabbi's Blessing. 16.
The Examination. 17. The Confirmation (Bar Mitzva.) 18. The Wedding.
19. The Village Vender. 20. The Anniversary of Mourning (Minyan.) 21.
The Return of the Volunteer.
The complete cycle of Oppenheim's masterly Pictures of Jewish Life is
included in this work, the original paintings being reproduced with all
the fidelity and effectiveness of the most advanced reproductive art.
The text has been written with a special regard to its educational
import. Each subject is elucidated by a brief citation of the historic
data bearing on it, and by a consideration of those of its features
which are directly or indirectly traceable in their origin and
development. The various articles thus make up a succession of historic
monographs, each one presenting, so to speak, a different cross-section
of the outline perspective of Jewish history which the text in its
entirety affords.
In the preparation and arrangement of this work the Publishers have
endeavored to maintain for its various elements, artistic, literary and
mechanical, a standard commensurate with the dignity of the subject.
They believe that they have measurably succeeded in their purpose, and
they bring the work before the Jewish public with a confident reliance
on its support.
_The Oppenheim Album of the Jewish Year is furnished at $20,_
a price which, while necessarily greater than that of ordinary books,
is far below the usual cost of art books of equal magnitude. This
has been rendered possible through the economies resulting from the
concentration of all the requisite facilities for its production and
the compassing of all the latest advances in the heliographic and
typographic arts. The work forms a magnificent _livre de luxe_. The
pictures are mounted on artistically matted boards, hinged on guards,
and bound in heavy covers with fine cloth and half Russia leather
binding. It may be ordered through any bookseller, and if ordered
direct it will be sent by express prepaid to any address in the United
States or Canada on receipt of the subscription price.

THE AMERICAN JEW AS Patriot, Soldier and Citizen
By HON. SIMON WOLF
Edited by LOUIS EDWARD LEVY
This timely work on a timely topic, called forth by recent magazine
discussions regarding the position of Jewish citizens as patriots and
as soldiers, contains an alphabetical register and numerous detailed
notices of American citizens of the Jewish faith who have been enrolled
in the armies of the country from the earliest period of American
history to the present time, including those in the Confederate armies
during the War for the Union.
In elucidation of this subject there are included in this volume,
besides a prefatory introduction by the author, a number of historical
papers on the part taken by American Jews in the upbuilding of this
Republic, and a special contribution on the same subject in relation
to the South American Countries, the West Indies and Canada. The
book furthermore contains a carefully collated series of articles,
discussions and letters bearing upon the question at issue, from
eminent Christian writers and publicists of Europe and America, and a
brief but comprehensive review of the subject of the Russian Jewish
immigrants.
The various matters are successively prefaced with introductory
references by the editor, and the book affords a thorough and complete
refutation of the falsities and misstatements regarding Jewish
citizenship which have been put forth from time to time through
ignorance, bigotry or selfish interest.
