PUBLISHERS’ NOTE


This remarkable historical romance is closely associated by the author in
his brief Preface with the early Second Coming of Christ, a belief that
is held to-day by a rapidly increasing number of people in all parts of
Christendom.

The story was first published in 1827, and was issued at different times
under different titles, as “Salathiel, a Story of the Past, the Present,
and the Future”; and “Salathiel, the Immortal, or the Wandering Jew.”
It had wide popularity for a generation or more, the leading critical
journals in England and America giving it great praise.

In the present revival of the story, many typographical, and some other
errors, that crept into the various editions, have been carefully
corrected, chapter and marginal headings have been added, and the dialogs
have been generally broken up into paragraphs in harmony with the fashion
of to-day, and the whole book has been carefully annotated.

We are glad in the belief that we have carried out successfully General
Lewis Wallace’s wish, that the story be worthily illustrated. We were
fortunate in securing a masterful artist who shared the great enthusiasm
of the author of “Ben Hur” for this story of Croly’s, and in his drawings
Mr. de Thulstrup has spared neither time nor labor, spending many months,
both here and in Europe, in the study of the details necessary to perfect
the pictures. We feel assured that General Wallace will now wish to
recast the closing sentence of his Introductory Letter.

The words that doomed Salathiel to immortality on earth, “Tarry Thou Till
I Come,” so fit the story that we have ventured to make them the chief
title, and have so combined the new with the old that no one will be
misled. The  frontispiece by Mr. de Thulstrup happily illustrates
the new title.

In the Appendix will be found a series of letters written for this
publication by thirty or more representative Jewish scholars, on “_Jesus
of Nazareth from the Present Jewish Point of View_.” The Appendix
contains other matter suggested by the legend of “The Wandering Jew,”
prepared by D. S. Gregory, LL.D., and by Arthur T. Pierson, D.D. The
general INTRODUCTION is self-explanatory.

It is believed that no book now before the public can be made nearly so
helpful as this one in interesting the minds of
