His own learning made the comprehension of the work easy to him, and his anglicization of words fabricated by Rabelais is particularly successful. The necessity of keeping to his text prevented his indulgence in the convolutions and divagations dictated by his exuberant fancy when writing on his own account. His style, always full of life and vigour, is here balanced, lucid, and picturesque.

Very imposing was Solomon Cohn in his official pew under the reading platform, for there is nothing which so enhances a man's dignity in the synagogue as the consideration of his Christian townsmen.

It put an end to the Celtic revival, and reproduced the conditions of the time of Malcolm and Margaret.

He ought to be under you only he expresses his ignorance in English and the fools think to talk nonsense in good English is to be qualified for the Rabbinate." The remark touched the Rabbi in a tender place. It was the one worry of his life, the consciousness that persons in high quarters disapproved of him as a force impeding the Anglicization of the Ghetto.
He should have love this strange English thing but could he not find a Jewess? Ah, happy inspiration! he should marry a quite poor Jewess he had money enough, thank Heaven! That would show him he was not making a match, that he was truly in love. But this strange girl at Harrow he would never be happy with her! No, no; there were limits to Anglicization.
But he shook her off! 'Why didn't a Boer bullet strike me down? Then with a swift pang of remorse he raised his contorted face and drew hers close against it their love the one thing saved from Anglicization.
