First edition, 24pp., disbound, a very good copy. A brilliant parody ridiculing the two numbers in Addison's 'Spectator' which praise 'Chevy Chase'. The poem on which Wagstaffe focuses critical attention is the old ballad of 'Tom Thumb, his Life and Death' ("in Arthur's Court Tom Thumb did live" - STC 24115, Wing T1789A-1790B), a work "proper to adorn the shelves of Bodley or the Vatican". This powerful essay, full of mock learning ("I have consulted Monsieur Le Clerk and my Friend Dr. B---ly"), textual criticism (having collated "all the Manuscripts.... also an Arabick Copy.... I find it an Interpolation"), Virgilian parallels and critical acclaim for the ballad's supposed "Poetical Genius" and emotions "that may move the Mind of the most polite Reader, with the inward Meltings of Humanity". Suggestions that this piece may have sufficient literary merit to suppose that Swift must have had a hand in it may be discounted Wagstaffe was a physician at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, whether he was also an original satirist influenced by Swift is open to question, but he certainly must have met him quite frequently at the house of his father-in-law, Charles Bernard.

'not upon the basis of force and power, but upon that of human solidarity and understanding?' His tireless pursuit of a cooperative relationship between Jews and Arabs was a manifestation of his philosophy of life; his effort on behalf of the binational plan stands as one in a series of efforts by him to change Jewish public life in both American and Mandatory Palestine" (Kotzin, 2010). In this pamphlet, Magnes includes his essay with the pamphlet's title, as well as his recent New York Times article and Philby's plan. He also republishes his 1921 letter to the editor of the London Jewish Chronicle in which he claims that redemption would come to the Jews only if they stop infringing on Arab national aspirations in Palestine. He placed this article in the pamphlet, he says, "to show that my present attitude is not new, and that it is the result of a view of life and a conception of the ethical function of Judaism and does not just spring from tactical or strategic motives." Finally, he also includes an English translation of Ahad Ha-Am's 1921 Preface to a new edition of his works. Important. Light wear & stains to cover, Very Good Condition. (zion-9-1) xx
