About this book

The Scapegoat by Hall Caine lists a preface and chapters I to XXVIII in its contents. The preface describes a land within sight of an English port where the ways of life are the same to-day as they were a thousand years ago. The preface calls that land one wherein justice is bought and sold, wherein it is a terror to be rich and a danger to be poor.

A character named Israel has one hope on his heart, that Ruth might soon bear a child. A passage about more than a hundred and twenty families says they thought they were entitled to elect a Synhedrin and appointed three-and-twenty judges. A character named Ali waited with impatience for the day that was to see the end of his enterprise.

About the author

Hall Caine

Hall Caine built an international readership through novels, drama, biography, and public lectures rooted in the moral and social life of the Isle of Man. The Manxman places a difficult triangle of loyalty, ambition, and love within Manx custom, while The Little Manx Nation gathers lectures on the island's rulers, church, and people.
