A one-volume History of the Jews in English by Max L. Margolis and Alexander Marx will be published shortly by the Jewish Publication Society, according to an announcement.
This work was made possible through the generosity of the late Miss Rosetta M. Ulman of Williams-port, Pa., and through the interest of Abraham Erlanger, executor of the Estate of Rosetta M. Ulman.
The authors, Dr. Max L. Margolis, of Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning, Philadelphia, and Dr. Alexander Marx, of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, have worked on their book for three years.
This volume will carry the history of the Jewish people from earliest Biblical days to date. It represents an unusual point of view, it is stated, and will endeavor to depict not only the literary life of the people but other cultural and economic phases as well.
