Economically, the land was as barren as a chapel floor until the Jews made their modern reappearance. Always there have been Jews in the country, but the old generation of Jews consecrated their lives to prayer and pious study and did nothing to assist its development, but rather cherished its backwardness and poverty. The modern spirit in Palestine is entirely Zionist. ” Includes advertisements for other Jewish works and a description of the entire “Palestine Papers” series.
