And the very man who had invented
the speeches set down in his work of fiction twenty years before, now
vouched for the authenticity of the obviously fabricated speech which he
attributed to a Rabbi who had his birth in the contorted mind of this
notorious forger.
A translation from the Russian of the apocryphal "Rabbi's Speech," with
the introductory note as published in Russia by G. Butmi, in 1907, in a
book entitled "The Enemy of the Human Race," dedicated by the author to
the Black Hundreds, will now be laid before the reader. A comparison of
it, with the scene in the cemetery, will at once demonstrate the
identity of authorship. Below is a facsimile of the title page of this
book, a copy of which is in the Russian collection of the Library of
Congress, in Washington, D. C.

THE RABBI'S SPEECH
To the Jewish People.[*]
[Footnote *: NOTE. (Toward the end of the last century there appeared a
book in London by Retcliffe entitled "A Review of Political and
Historical Events During the Past Ten Years." This work was translated
into French. The French periodical press, without waiting for the
complete translation of the book, reproduced certain parts of it because
they were of special interest.
