"_It would not be easy to say how large a part of our troubles
in the present troublous times is due to the general discredit
that has overtaken the old British virtue of honesty._"

The _Morning Post_ (in a lucid interval of subjectivity),
August 28, 1920.

PREFATORY NOTE

The substance of the following three essays was originally contributed, in the form of independent articles to the _Manchester Guardian_, the _Spectator_, and the _Daily Telegraph_ respectively. They have been carefully revised, much amplified, and largely rewritten in order to make a connected argument and avoid repetition. Footnotes of authorities have been added. My grateful acknowledgments are due to the Editors of the _Manchester Guardian_, the _Spectator_, and the _Daily Telegraph_ for their kindness in permitting this republication.

I confess to a feeling of shame at having to write this pamphlet at all. That reputable newspapers in this country should be seeking to transplant here the seeds of Prussian anti-Semitism, and that they should employ for this purpose devices so questionable and a literature so melodramatically silly, cannot but cause a sense of humiliation to any self-respecting Englishman. It is for this reason that I have strictly limited myself to an examination of the specific charges formulated by these publications. I cannot bring myself to believe that it is necessary to deal with them on a larger scale.
