Notes
Stoddard’s lecture devoted to Jerusalem is informed by a broad overview of Jewish history and persecution. Note his vigorous encouragement for a restoration of the Jews to Palestine at p. 113, 2d group. He writes, in part, "You are a people without a country, there is a country without a people. Be united. Fulfil the dreams of your old poets and patriarchs. Go back – go back to the land of Abraham"). Frequently reissued. The Boston: Balch Brothers Co.; Chicago: Geo. L. Shuman & Co., MCMIX, [c1897]) edition has consecutive pagination (333 p.).
