[4] The statements concerning the use of the blood shall be dealt with in a chapter of their own. (see page 400)
[5] "Outside the religion": they have placed themselves outside of Jewry through their statements, they are free as birds. One should compare the hors de loi of the French Revolution!

[7] This translation from the year 1840 agrees completely in its contents with the translation of shorter passages of the Schulchan aruch (compare Choschen ha-misch-pat 388, 10 and Hagah 388, 15) by E. Bischoff: "It is also at the present time allowed, to kill the man who makes the declaration. He has abandoned himself by his own action to death." -- "It is a command, to kill him, and anyone, who is first to strike him dead, is in the right." -- "If a Jew provably has already denounced Jews three times already, so the means are to be sought to remove him from the world... "
[8] This Rabbi was therefore present at both slaughters! In both cases he delivered to the Head Rabbi Antabli the blood collected in bottles.

[21] Dresden with Julius Naumann. [22] see page 176. [23] One should compare the treasury reports of the numerous mission organizations, as they were published in the "mission pages"!
[24] From the "Mission Song" let only the following passage be cited:
"... Come, put down your mite, too, for the blessing, which shall bring to the heathens the joys of the savior." According to E. Bischoff, who knew these gentlemen like no other knew them -- and saw through them, Delitzsch himself was born a Jew (1813), who was baptized in the Leipzig church of Nikolai and was active all his life as a "fanatic friend of the Jews."
His brothers had preferred to remain unbaptized (E. Bischoff" Schulchan aruch, page 138 in the place cited.). Delitzsch's father was a junk-yard Jew [this is the closest English rendering of "Trödeljude" I could think of; the noun der Trödel means "junk, second-hand articles" etc.], who conducted "a trade with old things, a so-called merchandise store".
"My benefactor from youth onward was a Jew by the name of Levy Hirsch, who lived with us in one house and dealt with books... "
("Franz Delitzsch -- A short picture of his life, composed by himself" in Peace over Israel!, 10th year, Number 1, Leipzig, 1913).
-- In the same tract another Missionary to the Jews, P. v. Harling, makes this judgment about Franz Delitzsch as "friend of Israel":
"... no one has felt the pulse beat of Jewish life like he has and understood the spiritual type of this remarkable people. It was his glowing love for Israel, a mysterious trait rooted in him for this people from childhood onward... He was revered in Israel like a saint... "
-- It would seem to us that these connections are
not so very mysterious!
Also according to the Anti-Semitic Correspondence from the year 1893 (page 458)
Delitzsch was a Jew.
In 1910 Elisabeth Delitzsch dedicated among others the following "Memorial Page" (in: Franz Delitzsch as Friend of Israel, page 10/11) to her grandfather: "As in our own day, so in Professor Delitzsch's day the Jewish people was accused of ritual- murder. Full of holy indignation, the scholar stood up for Israel and fought with the weapons of Talmudic knowledge against the 'blood-liars', who had dared to raise such unjust charges. The grateful mind of the Jews has never forgotten the courageous support of the great friend of Israel for the truth and for Israel's innocence and honor."
[25] This book, numbering over 400 pages, according to its entire layout is a commissioned work inspired by the highest Jewish-diplomatic circles, which at any rate permits extremely valuable insights into the cosmopolitan machinations of the Jewish Internationale. -- Appeared 1840 published by Lehrberger at Rödelheim. (Rödelheim near Frankfurt-on-Main was since the middle of the 18th century the preferred place for Jewish publishing.)

An assembly was held there again in 1882 thus: "In a meeting held under the chairmanship of the Lord Mayor of London on 1.2.82 in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House, may England lend its expression according to protocol in the form of a resolution of its displeasure and its disgust over the outbreak of the Russian persecution of the Jews and its sympathy for the poor, innocent, persecuted Jews" (Géza von Ónody, Tisza-Eszlár, page 8).
