- Notes
- Offers a few isolated observations about the Jews; for instance, at Warsaw: "Jews, with long greased locks hanging from their temples, lank, unctuous, and far- smelling figures" (p. 309). Taylor writes about Poland: "... Jews in the villages, disgusting to behold, with shocking bad hats of the stove-pipe breed, greasy love-locks hanging from their temples, and shabby black caftans reaching to their heels. These people justify the former middle age superstition that the Jew is distinguished from the Christian by a peculiar bodily odor" (p. 318).
