Notes

Vol. 1, The Old World; vol. 2, The New World. As with the previous editions (Boston, 1840, etc.), the set contains scattered information about the Jews. With respect to the 1856 ed., see, for example, the comparisons of Jewish the character and temperament in Hungary with that of the Gypsies (vol. 1, p. 298); Jews and Samaritans in Palestine (vol. 1, suppl., pp. 215-20 passim); section, "Persia," drawing upon Asahel Grant’s The Nestorians; or, The Lost Tribes ... (1841), devoted to parallels between the Nestorians and the Jews (vol. 1, suppl., pp. 221-36).
