Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Persecution of the Jews in Russia: With Appendix Containing a Summary of the Special and Restrictive Laws, Also a Map of Russia, Showing the Pale of Jewish Settlement
Hard though the yoke was, the burden has been made absolutely unbearable by enactments brought into existence some eight years ago, and put into rigorous Operation during the last three or four years; they were even, it was feared, about to be extended and intensified during the present year. The practical effect of even their existing application can be best summed up in the one crushing unwritten law, N 0 Russian Jew shall earn a living.
