Reprinted, with alterations and considerable additions, from an article in the Quarterly Review, April 1902. "My chief object in expanding and republishing the essay has been to make an impartial survey of the Jewish question in Europe. If one is to generalise about the Jews, as the mere name of anti-Semitism requires, and as so frequently happens in the prejudice of ordinary life, at least let us be certain that we know who these Jews are, what they believe, on what they wait, how they have been treated, and how they have borne the test." - Preface.
