> "there is one important fact here that relatively few fail to take into account. that england, like france, had relatively few jews. the consequence of this was that the great mass concentrated in the cities did not come into direct contact with this foreign nation, and the aversion which would naturally arise did not find sufficient nourishment. finally the jews of england, who at that time numbered scarcely fifty to sixty thousand were able to europeanize themselves to such an extent that they remained hidden from the primitive eye of the common man, and he could not notice them. as pillars of the economy, but especially as the bearers of great capital, they no longer appeared as foreigners but as englishman themselves. this prevented anti-semitism from gaining fundamental power in these countries. the same was true of france. precisely because of this, however, it was possible to introduce in these countries the system known as: "democracy."
