Excerpt from Modern Hebrew Literature (With a Preface by the Haham Dr. Gaster): A Paper Read Before the Annual Conference, in London, of the International Society, of Philology, Science and Fine Arts; On June 25, 1915 And yet a few words on the subject matter and on the manner in which Mr. Wassilevsky has handled it may perhaps not be out Of place, if only as an expression of my own Opinion.
