Chapter XI: Preface (9)

Ruben remained at Barnow until the judicial examination was over, although he hoped but little from it; for when the Jews are determined to be silent, no power on earth can make them speak.

Then he went away. Many years have passed away since then. He, probably, has also found rest, and sleeps away the dark sorrows of his life in some other corner of the world.

I have already described Lea's grave, and there is nothing more to be said.

I must add a few words in conclusion, that come from the bottom of my heart:

Forgive them, be not angry with them, for they know not what they do!

Rhoda Broughton's Novels.

"_I love the romances of Miss Broughton; I think them much truer to Nature than Ouida's, and more impassioned and less preachy than George Eliot's. Miss Broughton's heroines are living beings, having not only flesh and blood, but also esprit and soul; in a word, they are real women, neither animals nor angels, but allied to both._"--ANDRE THEURIET (the French novelist).

VICE VERSA;

OR, A LESSON TO FATHERS.

By F. ANSTEY.

"If there ever was a book made up from beginning to end of
laughter, yet not a comic book, or a 'merry' book, or a book of
jokes, or a book of pictures, or a jest-book, or a
tomfool-book, but a perfectly sober and serious book, in the
reading of which a sober man may laugh without shame from
beginning to end, it is the new book called 'Vice Versa; or, a
Lesson to Fathers....' We close the book, recommending it very
earnestly to all fathers, in the first instance, and their
sons, nephews, uncles, and male cousins next."--_Saturday
Review._

"Cordially do we recommend 'Vice Versa.' We content ourselves
with a tardy tribute, in general terms, to its originality, its
irresistible humor, and never relaxed fascination."--_New York
Independent._

"By all odds the freshest and most unconventional work of
fiction recently published."--_New York Herald._

"If the story were not so laughable in every incident, and the
humor so delightful, we should weep over Mr. Bultitude; but we
are grateful to the author for an original, incomparably funny,
and morally instructive story, which exhibits a variety of
talent that will make him a distinguished
novelist."--_Criterion_, St. Louis, Mo.

"We predict for this book a wide popularity in
America."--_Boston Journal of Education._

"'Vice Versa' is a remarkable book. It has been received in
England with a clamor of applause, and deserves all the good
that has been said of it."--_New York Critic._

"An uncommonly bright and amusing novel. It is brimful of clean
and spirited humor, and is as diverting a book as we have met
with in some time: refined in character, admirable in literary
style, and equally keen and clever in satire."--_Boston
Gazette._

"'Vice Versa' has a rare and lasting flavor that will make it
sought."--_Boston Globe._

"A capital book, full of fun, constantly provoking to laughter,
and abounding in dramatic incidents. It is the cleverest book
of the kind that has been written for many a day."--_Baltimore
Sun._

"If you want the best novel of the year, buy 'Vice
Versa.'"--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._

"One of the drollest and most entertaining books ever
written."--_New York Churchman._

"A work of genuine and well-sustained humor from beginning to
end."--_Utica, N. Y. Herald._

UNCLE REMUS:

_His Songs and his Sayings._

THE FOLK-LORE OF THE OLD PLANTATION.

By JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS.

"The idea of preserving and publishing these legends in the
form in which the old plantation negroes actually tell them, is
altogether one of the happiest literary conceptions of the day.
And very admirably is the work done.... In such touches lies
the charm of this fascinating little volume of legends, which
deserves to be placed on a level with _Reincke Fuchs_ for its
quaint humor, without reference to the ethnological interest
possessed by these stories, as indicating, perhaps, a common
origin for very widely-severed races."--_London Spectator._

"We are just discovering what admirable literary material there
is at home, what a great mine there is to explore, and how
quaint and peculiar is the material which can be dug up. Mr.
Harris's book may be looked on in a double light--either as a
pleasant volume recounting the stories told by a typical old
colored man to a child, or as a valuable contribution to our
somewhat meager folk-lore.... To Northern readers the story of
Brer (Brother--Brudder) Rabbit may be novel. To those familiar
with plantation life, who have listened to these quaint old
stories, who have still tender reminiscences of some good old
mauma who told these wondrous adventures to them when they were
children, Brer Rabbit, the Tar Baby, and Brer Fox, come back
again with all the past pleasures of younger days."--_New York
Times._

"Uncle Remus's sayings on current happenings are very shrewd
and bright, and the plantation and revival songs are choice
specimens of their sort."--_Boston Journal._

"The volume is a most readable one, whether it be regarded as a
humorous book merely, or as a contribution to the literature of
folk-lore."--_New York World._

"This is a thoroughly amusing book, and is much the best
humorous compilation that has been put before the American
public for many a day."--_Philadelphia Telegraph._

Well illustrated from Drawings by F. S. Church, whose humorous animal drawings are so well known, and J. H. Moser, of Georgia.
