Excerpt from Rome and Jerusalem: A Study in Jewish Nationalism IT was Ruskin who 'divided all books into two classes: into books of the hour and books for all time. To the first belong the great majority of books; to the second, the few and chosen. To the latter belongs Rome and Jerusalem. It is as timely to - day as it was fifty-six years ago, when it first saw the light of day; and, in a sense, even more timely, for Rome and Jerusalem belongs to the very few books which are written in advance of their time.

Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... EPILOGUE I. Hellenes And Hebrews The spiritual views of a man, of whatever religion or race, are the products of his particular environment. But the roots of these- conceptions, as well as those of social life in general, lie in the great web of organic life with which the social life is closely and inseparably connected; just as organic life itself is connected with the next life sphere, the cosmic. There is no absolute line of demarcation between these three life spheres, just as there is no difference between the material and the spiritual life. The three life spheres do, however, form sharply defined grades or epochs within the unified and indivisible universal life. And just as in each individual life sphere, so also in the totality of the universal life, every step toward a higher grade of life must have its antecedents in the lower grade. Compared with the higher order of life, the organic, the cosmic life sphere appears lifeless, especially on the border line which leads from the life of the cosmic bodies to that of the organisms. Here, on the surface of the already cooled-off and stiffened cosmic bodies, we see only the dead residue of the cosmic life sphere, out of which the higher organic life sphere developed. But if we observe the life of the cosmic sphere where it is still being generated and developed in universal space, we cannot deny to it attributes of the divine life--the life that is so beautifully described in our literature in the words: "Last in creation, first in thought." The remarkable phenomena which were observed in the modern period, such as the splitting and other changes going on in the double comets of Bielasch and Liais, the solidifying of the cosmic dust, its assumption of the spheroid form and spiral...
