Sweazey (TIME, May 4), argues that Jews are ripe to become Christians because "many Jews in America scarcely have a religion" and that "even those who cherish a strong sense of the Judaic tradition often seem to hold it as a sort of super-intense patriotism."

Published for the first time in 1871, The Watsons was twice snatched up in the 19205 by authors (one of them Jane Austen's great-grandniece) who tried to complete it in a faithfully Janeish style.
