Excerpt from The Standard Book of Jewish Verse
Although the title, The Standard Book of Jewish Verse, seems to imply that it is a collection which comprises poems of recognized merit that bear the stamp of general approval, it must be understood that, in no sense, has it been placed before a literary tribu nal and that its value is yet to be appraised. The com piler was a man of catholic sympathies. He included in this Anthology almost every phase of the Jewish Spirit. If by dint of rare diligence, acute discrimina tion, and by all the subtle processes of racial sym pathy he has succeeded in producing a work which will be acclaimed as a classic, so that this volume may take a notable place among other similar collections, his arduous and devoted labor will yield rich recom pense.
