Excerpt from Historic Parallels in Jewish History: A Discourse Delivered at the Anglo-Jewish Historical Exhibition, 16th June, 1887This mighty memory is enshrined in the historic tablets of the Jewish people. No other people on earth can compare with this in the duration of its historical memory. It has seen the lofty forms of antiquity rise and pass away. It has lived through the wild chaos of the Middle Ages, which pressed on it like a mountain, and it has helped to cause this chaos to vanish like the visions of a dream. It has seen the dawn of Modern Times arise, and this same people, almost unchanged, has a hold upon the present, bound into a community by holy memories and religious institutions, even though without a common land.The history of this community runs parallel with that of the world on which it has often actively worked, and by which it has been passively in¿uenced. The history of Israel is a miniature history of the world. They bear the same relation to one another as the microcosm to the macrocosm. Israel has received light or shade from all the important events of the world's history, and has, too, cast them back upon the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
