JEWISH STATISTICS the Statistics of Jews in the World Rests Largely Upon Estimates

150 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rests largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the numbers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statis- tical authority after another. In spite of the unsatisfactoriness of the method, it may be assumed that the numbers given are approximately correct. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1905, the English " Jewish Year Book" for 5665, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," and the Alliance Israelite Universelle reports. Some of the statements rest upon the authority of competent individ- uals. A comparison with last year's statistics will show that for several countries the figures have been changed. In most cases, the change is due to the fact that the results of the census of 1900, 1901, and 1902 have only now become available.

THE UNITED STATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimate, though several of the estimates have been most conscientiously made. The Jewish population was estimated In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M. A. Berk at 50,000 In 1880 by Win. B. Hackenburg at 230,257 In 1888 by Isaac Markens at 400,000 In 1897 by David Sulzberger at 937,800 The following table by States is a modification of that given in the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK for 5665, by reason of changes in the estimated populations of Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. The new figures have been adopted from " The Jewish Encyclopedia." JEWISH STATISTICS 151

ONE HUNDKED AVAILABLE BOOKS IN ENGLISH ON PALESTINE. As a result of the past twenty-five years' exploration in Palestine, practically the whole of the country, both east and west of the Jordan, has been surveyed and mapped, trigo- nometrically as well as geologically, and the way has been cleared for the present task of investigators, that of excavating the ruins of Biblical sites. Until the present century the only extended excavations, aside from those in connection with the walls at Jerusalem, had been made in the Philistine lowlands, or Shephelah, two of the five ruins excavated there being identified respectively as Lachish and Mareshah. One of the principal sites at present under investigation likewise lies in this district, namely, the ancient Gezer (Tell Jezer), where the Palestine Exploration Fund has been at work since 1902. Explorers, however, are now turning their attention to other regions also, and since April, 1903, extensive excavations have been under way in the southern part of the Plain of Jezreel (i. e. at Tell Mutesellim), in the region where lay the ancient Megiddo. This work is being done by the German Palestine Society. At Sidon excavations have been, and are being, made by the Turkish Government. The remaining archaeological work now being prosecuted is concerned with the superficial examination of sites for future excavation, the sur- veying of a few not yet fully explored districts, and the gather- ing of inscriptions. The Princeton University Syrian expedition, for instance, set out in October, 1904, for a year's work in Eastern .Palestine and Northern Syria; and similar expedi- 154 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK tions for minor investigations are being sent out by each of three schools existing in Jerusalem, the German (Das Deutsche Evangelische Institut), the American (School of Archaeology), and the French (L'Ecole Biblique de St. Etienne). Detailed reports of the work being done by the Palestine Exploration Fund are given in the Palestine Exploration Fund Quarterly (London, Palest. Ex. Fund, $2.50), which notices also the work of other societies and expeditions. The only other journal in English devoted exclusively to the subject of Oriental excavations is Biblia, a monthly journal published at Meriden, Conn. ($1 per year). The following is a list of works in English, in part detailed and scientific, in part popular and impressionistic, dealing with Palestine. The reader seeking to acquire a general and comprehensive idea of the physical features of the land is recommended to study one of the shorter text books or sum- maries, and then to read several of the popular illustrated works of travel in connection with one of the guide-books.

A SYLLABUS OF JEWISH HISTOKY In the following pages, the " History of the Jews," by Graetz, in the edition published by the JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA, is made the basis of a syllabus from which a student who has access to a complete set of the books published by the same Society, can readily map out a course of topical Jewish readings supplementary to the " History." •The syllabus does not exhaust all the possibilities of the Eng- lish-Jewish library issued by the Society. The scheme fails some- times to provide a place for the most suggestive chapters in a book. " The Child in Jewish Literature," in Dr. Schechter's " Studies in Judaism," and his chapters on " The Titles of Jew- ish Books," and " The History of Jewish Tradition," had to be omitted, as well as his " Introduction," for lack of a peg in the " History" to hang them on. The same applies to the greater part of Mr. Dembitz's " Services in Synagogue and Home." To co-ordinate it with references to the " History," it would have had to be split up into minute divisions. The most conspicuous omissions, the reader will discover for himself, are the " Ethics of Judaism," by M. Lazarus, as fundamental in its field as the Graetz volumes are in theirs, and Liebman Adler's " Sabbath Hours." On the other hand, the references to the " History " have been left equally incomplete to avoid a cumbersome and bewildering accumulation of figures. The Index Volume will show, for ex- ample, that Rabbi Meir appears on many pages of the second volume besides the one page (436) given in the syllabus. The compiler hopes that the student will be stimulated to round out for himself the account of each topic as presented by the his- torian. In such earnest prosecution of his studies, he will find the Index Volume a valuable aid. 164 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK
