I have occasion to be thankful for the success of this volume. Most of the journals which used formerly to talk about Jewish blood-ritual and Jewish ritual murder, have been for several months gradually exchanging those phrases for Jewish blood-murder, Jewish blood-supersti tion, avoiding direct reference to ritual. However, they still try to prove to their readers, that blood murder and cases of blood-superstition are peculiar to Judaism, and so they keep alive the idea that there must be something ritual behind it all.
