Wit and Wisdom of the Talmud Madison C Peters

WHILE gathering the facts for "Justice to the Jew," I chanced upon so many wise proverbs, witty sayings, beautiful parables, and quaint legends of the Talmud, that I became intensely interested in this remarkable literary production of antiquity. In its twelve folio' volumes it embodies the mental labors of the ancient Jewish teachers during the period of about eight hundred years.
