To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Seduction is effected by means of per. Suasion (nns, Piel of nns to persuade), Abduction by means of fraud or violence; Seduction, ^ins, is generally understood as an offence against a woman. Abduction may be perpetrated on any human being. It seems to me that Mr. Eisenstein's fear of a layman's misunderstand- ing the term is entirely groundless, for the layman that is not intelligent enough to distinguish between Abduc- tion and Seduction, is not intelligent enough to consult the Jewish Encyc'...opedia. Mr. Eisenstein further objects to the fulness of the 'description of the malefactor, " wherein reality no attempt at fulness is made, for that alone would cover the space of the whole article. In my modest work on "The Criminal Jurisprudence of the Ancient Hebrews, " a chapter is de- voted to "Persons Indictable, " ^hich covers with the notes 8 pages (78-86)! And when he avers that, unless '*the full description of the malefactor" be omitted, "repetitions will occur in every subject of crime, " he forgets that no En- cyclopedia is free from repetitions; that it is impossible to 25 write a heterogeneous series of articles, without more or less frequently repeating one's self, and that no article would be complete, were every detail mentioned elsewhere omitted.
