    An indication of the success of this text was, among other things, in Italy, the proposed intention of dedicating a special issue of the magazine La Voce to the subject “Semites and anti-Semites”, which was meant also to include a contribution by Sorel on Drumont - as can be deduced from a letter from Alessandro Casati to Prezzolini dated February 1910. I thank Prof. Giovanni Rota for this indication.
