peal from Jews who had stores
in Petticoat Lane on Sundays
because they observed the Sab-
bath and he helped them keep
their businesses open on Sun-
days if they were closed on
Saturdays.
He had an interesting family
background. Referring to the
help David Salomons and his
friends gave in electing Moses
Montefiore Sheriff of London in
1837, Abrahams points out: "The
connection of David with the
Montefiore f a m i l y was closer
than ever, for both his brothers,
Philip and Joseph, had married
Montefiores. Philip's wife was a
sister of Moses, whose niece was
David's own Janey."
There was a remarkable rela-
tionship between David and
Janey. They were childless and
David's favorite n e p h e w, Sir
David Lionel Salomons, who be-
came a great scientist, inherited
the title to his baronetcy.
Not only Salomons' political
career, but his Jewish activi-
ties as well receive due recog-
nition in this fine Covenant
Book. Abrahams tells about
his many generous deeds to
Jewish causes. He also tells
about the formation of the first
Reform synagogue, which "was
refused representation on the
Jewish Board of Guardians,"
and he states: "David, not a
member of the Reform group
himself, nevertheless opposed
Moses Montefiore on this issue
and supported the demand of
the new synagogue for repre-
sentation. He felt the issue
was much like that of Jewish
representation in the general
community for which he - had
fought. Why shouldn't all who
considered themselves Jews be
entitled to representation on
the Board that represented the
whole community?"

Dr. Mark also took note of

"this evil practice." "Aside from

Another Covenant Series book,
issued jointly by the Jewish Pub-
lication Society of America and
Farrar, Straus and Cudahy. adds
considerable interest and en-
hances the value of the project.
"Sound of Bow Bells — The
Story of Sir David Salomotis,"
by Robert D. Abrahams, is an
exciting story about one of the
British Jewish leaders who
reached the highest rungs of the
political ladder while retaining
his Jewish loyalties and playing a
great role in the fight for equal
rights for Jews seeking public
office in England.
Salomons, as a child, heard
the story of Dick Whittington
and listened to the bells on Lord
Mayor's Day in London, and ac-
quired the ambition to become,
like Whittington, the London
Lord Mayor.
He not only attained the goal
of becoming the f'i r s t Jewish
Lord Mayor of London, but was
also the first Jewish alderman,
the first Jewish County Magis-
trate—z-and he was honored by
Queen Victoria with a Baronet-
cy.
Written for young readers,
Abrahams' story will delight and
enlighten readers of all ages. It
is a true success story about an
observant Jew who was Sheriff
of London and became a mem-
ber of the House of Commons,
who helped revolutionize the
banking business, who never
shirked a Jewish responsibility.
There is an element of cur-
rent timeliness in the story of
London's first Jewish Lord
Mayor. When a Sunday clos-
ing hill was introduced, David
Salomons responded to an ap-
