Among his unpublished writings was found a work on mathematical physics, Ta'alumot Hokmah, and in his Talmudic treatise, Heshek Shelomoh, he inserted a dissertation, Ma'aseh Hosheb, on arithmetic, like a skilful physician putting a healing, though to some it may appear a repelling, balm into a delicious, attractive capsule.
In point of fact we were north-west, so that they should have turned" his thumbs began to turn and his voice to take on the Talmudic sing-song "south-east. I told them it was easy in each city to compute the exact turning, by corners and circles " "By spherical trigonometry, certainly," said Mendelssohn pleasantly.
"'Hospitality," he quoted from the Talmud, "'is one of the things which the giver enjoys in this world and the fruit of which he relishes in the world to come. To think that I cannot offer a Talmudic scholar a night's rest! Alas! America has turned me into a mound of ashes." "You were well off in Russia, weren't you?" I inquired, in astonishment.
He often makes use of the Talmudic jargon peculiar to Rabbinical scholars, whom he has the skill to transfer to his canvas down to their slightest gestures and mannerisms. But he does not restrain his wit in showing up the ridiculous side of the moderns as well.
During the next few weeks Mendel was at his Talmudic studies in the jeschiva as usual, but there was a decided change in his manner a certain listlessness, a lack of interest, which were so apparent that Rabbi Jeiteles could not but observe them. "I fear that the boy has been studying too hard," he said to his wife one day. "We must induce him to take more exercise."

My sense of advancement and independence reminded me of the days when I had just been graduated from the Talmudic Academy and went on studying as an "independent scholar." I had not, however, begun to work in my new place when a general strike of the trade was declared
The Jewish spirit again withdrew from the outer world. It gave itself up wholly to the study of the Talmud. In northern France and in Germany, Talmudic learning degenerated into the extreme of scholastic pedantry, the lot of every branch of science that is lopped off from the main trunk of knowledge, and vegetates in a heavy, dank atmosphere, lacking light and air.
The Talmudic rabbis are there at their worst; and the consequences are evil, not only for Russia, but for our own country. The immigration which comes to us from these regions is among the very worst that we receive from any part of the world.
But even this would not account for the whittling away of his 'Solomon. 'S. Cohn' was the insignium over his clothing establishment. Not that he was anxious to deny his Jewishness was not the shop closed on Saturdays? he was merely anxious not to obtrude it. 'When we are in England, we are in England, he would say, with his Talmudic sing-song.
Beside the Doctor of Music there stands the Talmudic Jew, the man all intellect and no feeling, who subtilizes over musical art as though it were the Law. The compositions of this period constitute an artistic retrogression rather than an advance. They are not "modern music" for all their apparent stylistic kinship to the music of Strawinsky and Scriabine and Ornstein.
