A compilation of five lectures originally delivered by Sulzberger at Dropsie College in 1913, this work is notable for both its breadth of learning and its cogency of argument. It is also an impressive work of Biblical exegesis. Ranging from the Am Haaretz to "The Polity of the Ancient Hebrews," it places homicide in the wider context of Jewish history, jurisprudence and government. An especially useful feature is the detailed index of cited Biblical passages.

Sulzberger, Mayer: - Mayer Sulzberger [1843-1923], a Philadelphia judge, orator and philanthropist, was one of the most influential figures in the Jewish community during his lifetime. Known as the "dean of American Jewry," he was elected judge of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas in 1895 and 1904 and was one of the founders of the Young Men's Hebrew Association. Mayer Sulzberger Junior High School in Philadelphia is named in his honor. A keen bibliophile, he owned many important works of Hebraica and Judaica that are housed today in the libraries of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and the Center for Judaic Studies, University of Pennsylvania.
