Although born in Australia, the historian and folklorist Joseph
Jacobs (1854-1916) spent his adult years in England and America.
Educated at Cambridge and Berlin, he came to public attention in
1882 following the publication in The Times of a series of articles
on the persecution of Jews in Russia that had followed the
assassination of Alexander II. The Mansion House Committee to aid
the Jews of Russia was established as a result of these articles.
In 1885 he published this book, listing all the printed works on
the 'Jewish Question' that had appeared in the previous decade. It
is notable that those items originating in Germany form the bulk of
the bibliography, providing as much material as all other countries
combined. Revealing in its scope, this has been described as the
most important contemporary bibliography on the subject.
