Tales Of The British Aristocracy By L.G. Pine
1956

"As a result I found Mr. Soref's lecture of absorbing interest. He traced the beginnings of Jewish infiltration into the aristocracy 200 years ago. He showed that for each instance of a Rothschild or a Disraeli which is familiar to everyone, there are ten cases of Jewish connection which are now half-for-gotten. One of the most curious of these was concerned with the late Lord Southwood, more usually known in business as J.S. Elias, the reviver of Odhams Press and the man who made it into the vast undertaking it now is. Soref pointed out that in Southwood's biography no reference appeared to his Jewish origin. This is phenomenon which is not peculiar to the biographer of Lord Southwood, for in many other cases Jewish origin is concealed."
