The story of the greatest nations; a comprehensive history, extending from the earliest times to the present, founded on the most modern authorities, and including chronological summaries and pronouncing vocabularies for each nation; and the world's famous events, told in a series of brief sketches forming a single continuous story of history and illumined by a complete series of notable illustrations from the great historic paintings of all lands . 1-28. 1-28 The Hebrews—Recent Prosperity 55 the civilization of the day. In 1790, the new statesmen of France admittedthe Jews to full citizenship, giving them the technical name of Israelites. OtherEuropean nations have since followed this example. But even the twentiethcentury has seen Jewish massacres in Russia as cruel as those of Western Europein the earlier ages. The long and hideous night of Judaism is not yet whollypassed, but the downtrodden race begins to feel the mighty and beneficentgenerosity of modern rehgious toleration. It is again expanding and progress-ing with much of its ancient power—though with its savagery, perhaps, some-what softened by the experiences of two thousand years of suffering. ^\ \ v) 1,^-1 [A,/]jll llin;.,
