In 1873 he became editor of the Hannoversche Kurier , in 1878 the Berlin correspondent of the journal Die Grenzboten . In 1880 he published his book Israel and the Goyim. Contributions to the assessment of the Jewish question , a collection and supplement of contributions that were previously published in the journal Die Grenzboten .
