1891. Caine, Hall. – The Scapegoat: a romance. London: 8vo, 2 vols., pp. 258+314. Recast in 1 Vol., 1892.
A story chiefly concerned with Jewish Life in Morocco, originally published in the Illustrated London News, with fine illustrations by Forestier. The author visited Morocco in March-April 1891, with a view to the accuracy of his local colouring, and his facts were supplied and revised by various competent authorities; reviewed in Acadmy, Oct. 3rd, with some philological and historical corrections by Budgett Meakin. It gives a vivid and in general truthful picture of Judæo-Moorish life; but its historical accuracy is at fault in the cardinal point that instead of Mowlai Abd-er-Rahman being present in Tetuan when i twas captured, he died three month before that event.


Roman qui met en scène de façon vivante et assez juste les milieux judéo-marocains. L'auteur n'a fait au Maroc qu'un séjour très court.
