The Jews could be put down very plausibly as the most unpleasant race ever heard of. As commonly encountered they lack any of the qualities that mark the civilized man: courage, dignity, incorruptibility, ease, confidence.

Their fortitude, such as it is, is wasted upon puerile objects, and their charity is mainly a form of display.
