Sidney L. Nyburg 
is marked as a brilliant novelist. His “The 
. Conquest” was selected by H. W. Boynton as 
one of the ten noteworthy novels of 1916 (see 
January Bookman). Mr. Nyburg writes with 
a pen unthwarted by false notions, but alive 
with sincerity and genuine artistic impulse. 
The Chosen People 
is a novel of the Jews which str-ises a note 
unheard in American fiction. Labor, capital, 
orthodoxy and free thinking, religious belief 
and religious life are among the forces which 
appear. The story is of a brilliant young Rabbi, 
his love for a girl and his belief in ideals, his 
struggles against forces of materialism and his 
reaction from them. Those interested in the 
spiritual life of America will read and talk 
of this story, as it is the most distinctive work 
of the year. $1.40 net
