1st Edition. Original Boards. 8vo. 200 pages ; 20 cm. In English. James 'Keighley' Snowden (1860-1947) is mostly known for writing stories about Yorkshire. He worked for the Yorkshire Post and the Daily Mail. In an author’s note, Snowden writes, “This is a book for ordinary readers. As a journalist, I have tried to make its story as plain and interesting as anything in the newspapers. The facts it contains will come as a great surprise to many people; but this is not because they are new knowledge - it is only because they have not been popularized… The truth about the Bible, a popular book, ought not to be so technically told. ” SUBJECT(S) : Jewish legends. Jewish mythology. This copy belonged to Rabbi Barnett Abraham Elzas. Elzas was the Rabbi at Beth Elohim congregation in Charleston, S. C. And wrote several books and articles on the Jews of South Carolina and Charleston. Inscribed “To Dr. Barnett A Elzas… Charleston. Jan 6. 1927” on first page. Some foxing on title page.
