While the book belongs to an earlier era

I was thinking more of his real-world reactions, also of the timing; "The House Surgeon" dates from 1909 and Max M'Leod and his family are very sympathetic characters.

and the story is timed to be contemporary with the Magna Carta, I also wonder whether, if the point were pressed, he would have continued to differentiate such ideas of Jews from the sort he thought Einstein represented.

I don't know. I could try to read his letters to find out. I might also wind up throwing them across the room and listening to the "Anchor Song" again.
