Jews and Christians, from the French O Princess Nathalie Gortschakoff-Ouvaroff, With Introductory Notes (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Jews and Christians

Several eminent Christians have conveyed to the Princess the most flattering marks of sympathy and approbation for her pamphlet. They well understood that her criticism related to a state of things tolerated, although blameable. A French literary Academy has requested her acceptance of the title of honorary member, and asked her to contribute to their periodical, by which it will be clearly seen that far from having any grudge against her for her bold outspoken, candid and truthful words, they have by their line of conduct stamped her action by their approbation.

Such is the opinion of theE ditor of the JeiL ixh Chronicle, in which I entirely coincide, and should like also to see it translated into Hebrew and extensively circulated amongst my co-religionists in Russia and Germany, on account of the brotherly feelings conveyed therein. The club scene in Daniel Deronda was most ably translated for me into Hebrew by theE ditor of the Jfagid within a few days of its appearance in English, to the great delight of George Eliot as conveyed to me. Having done my part by its translation into English. I think others ought to carry out these two additional translations. I must bear testimony to the pioneer Dr. A dolf Blumenthal, whose able authorised translation into German has so much pleased the noble authoress.
