Notes
The few references to the Jews tend to be hostile and
prejudiced. See, for instance, "Jew Shylocks" (vol. 1,
p. 286), or the author’s retelling of the golden calf
(Ex. 32:20) reduced to "drinkable conditions" and the
"pestering Jews ... retching, gagging, and twisting in
their inwards [innards?], getting a full dose of the
consequences of their idolatry" (vol. 1, p. 252).
With respect to the Jews found at Yokohama, Japan, "The
ubiquitous Jew is here working and doing after his
stereotyped way" (vol. 2, p. 259, most likely an oblique
reference to loansharking; compare with vol. 1, p. 186,
about dowry money borrowed by parents in India from the
usurious "sons of Jacob").
