The seminarys basic aim was to teach positive historical Judaism. The positive stood for a faithful adherence to the practical precepts of Judaism, while historical permitted free inquiry into the Jewish past, including even Bible criticism, though with some self-imposed limitations (JewishVirtualLibrary.org, 2016) . Every year, the seminary published an annual report with scholarly work by the professors at the seminary, up until the Nazis destroyed the seminary in 1938.

Cohen, prominent San Francisco lawyer, book collector, and leader of the Jewish community, was unjustly accused of embezzling funds which belonged to creditors of the firm of Adams & Co. , a banking house which had recently defaulted.

His lawyer, Trenor W. Park, had moved from his native Vermont to California in 1852, where he was counsel to the Vigilance Committee and became involved with Fremont in the Mariposa Mine; Stanly was a North Carolina Congressman who had moved to San Francisco in the 1850's.

It is a satire on the New Yorkers"--Sabin 36827; Rosenbach, American Jewish Bibliography, 242. Shoemaker 12971; BAL 11020. Pages untrimmed as issued. Suppressed libelous satire of New York high society, mocking over 100 local personalities, by early Jewish American dramatist Samuel B. H. Judah (1804-1876) . His plan to publicize this book was nothing short of brilliant. Immediately following publication of Gotham and the Gothamites, Judah paid to have flyers posted throughout New York City, offering a reward for the identity of the anonymous author. He then sent anonymous letters to many of the personalities he had described in the book, calling their attention to the book's existence--one of whom was playwright (and eventual Sheriff of New York) Mordecai Manuel Noah, the subject of ten footnoted pages. Noah sued, with the trial finding Samuel Judah was guilty of libel, fined, and imprisoned, though he was pardoned five weeks later because of ill health. He was eventually admitted to the New York bar and practiced law there for over 50 years. Some foxing as expected, all endpapers present, touch of wear to crown of spine and and some rubbing to the covers front, but a nice solid clean copy with all original elements present.

1st edition. Original illustrated publisher's boards, 8vo, xxii, (2), 17-518, (1), (1 blank).Illustrated With Maps and Numerous Engravings. English interspersed with Hebrew. Frontispiece portrait of author, foldout maps of Land of Israel, lithographed views of Holy Places. Singerman 1161. The nineteenth century saw a dramatic growth in interest in the Holy Land due to new directions in Bible studies and the growing popularity of visiting the region. This renewed attention was reflected in the expanding body of literature of geographies and travelogues. One such Hebrew work was Joseph Schwarz's Tevuot ha-Aretz, published in Jerusalem in 1845. When Schwarz visited the United States, four years later, as a rabbinical emissary from the Holy Land he arranged for Isaac Leeser to translate and publish Tevuot ha-Aretz. When it appeared the following year as this work, "A Descriptive Geography and Brief Historical Sketch of Palestine," it was recognized as one of the most important Jewish works published in America up to that time. Leeser proudly stated in his introduction: "The execution of the whole (book] is the work of Jewish writers and artists, the drawings being executed by Mr. S. Shuster, a lithographer belonging to our Nation." Leeser further expressed his hope that the publication of the volume might "extend the knowledge of Palestine, and also to enkindle sympathy and kind acts for those of our brothers, who cling to the soil of our ancestors." Isaac Leeser was an American rabbi, educator, and author, founder of the Jewish press of America. "Leeser participated in all Jewish movements. He was the earnest promoter of all the national enterprises-the first congregational union, the first Hebrew day-schools, the first Hebrew college, the first Jewish publication society-and of numberless local undertakings. [His monthly magazine] "The "Occident" acquired a national and even an international reputation; the Maimonides' College, of which he was president, paved the way for future Jewish colleges in the United States; and his translation of the Bible became an authorized version for the Jews of America.

Third edition. Carefully revised, corrected, and improved. Original board with paper label on front, as issued, 8vo, 83 pages ; 22 cm. In English with Hebrew. Singerman 1263. Goldman (183), notes, Joshua Seixas, the son of Gershom Mendes Seixas (the minister of New York's Shearith Israel congregation), was born in New York in 1802. Little is known about his life. He taught in Shearith Israel's Hebrew school in the mid-1820s and he established the congregation's first choir. Seixas moved to Charlestown, MA, in the early 1830s and gave lessons in Hebrew. Among his pupils were Harvard students. Seixas began referring to himself as James while in Charlestown and it is assumed that he converted to Unitarian Christianity while there. Seixas then settled in Hudson, OH. He offered private Hebrew classes to students at Oberlin College, and later at Western Reserve University...He also taught groups of Mormons- the center of the movement at the time was in Kirtland, OH- and among his students were Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, and Orson Hyde, another early leader of the movement. Seixas left Ohio in 1836 and he was living in Staten Island, NY, by 1838. It is not clear what his relationship to the Jewish community was in his later years. His death in 1874 is not mentioned in Shearith Israel's records, but the death of his wife is. (The two lived apart after retuning to New York.) Also, a few of his many children remained within the community; others did not. Seixas was in regular contact with Christian Hebraists throughout his life. He corresponded with Moses Stuart on personal and scholarly matters and he proofread the grammars published by Stuart and George Bush. Seixas himself authored grammars for Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac and Arabic .An expanded second edition (119 pp.) was published in 1834 UA #590]; a third revised and corrected edition (83 pp.) was published in 1852 UA #1263]. Seixas's grammar was reviewed favorably in its time (Goldman, 'Joshua/James Seixas," 72), though Chomsky later criticized it (Chomsky [1958], 133-4). For detailed analysis of Seixas' relationship with the founders of the Mormon church, see Rick Grunder's 2015 essay "A Teacher for the Temple: The Infectious Exuberance of Joshua Seixas" (www.rickgrunder.com/seixas.pdf).

Cover illustration by Hyman Askowith. The Menorah Association and Menorah Journal Both grew out of the Harvard Menorah Society, a Jewish campus group formed in 1906 by Henry Hurwitz, at the time an undergraduate at the university. Influenced by the new humanism then being propounded in Cambridge by such figures as William James and George Santayana, the society sought to pursue the study of humanistic values in Judaism and to develop a positive intellectual relationship to Jewish tradition and belief. Similar groups soon formed on other American campuses, and in 1913 an intercollegiate Menorah Association was established which eventually numbered some 80 chapters. The association [was] the first attempt to establish an intercollegiate Jewish body of its kind it helped pave the way for such later organizations as the B'nai B'rith Hillel societies (Halkin in EJ, 2007, p. 55) A 1914 work about the Menorah movement noted about these begnings at Harvard: The work of the Society is designed to give its members primarily, and the students at the university in general, a just appreciation of Hebraism, which is conceived as included all the manifestations of the Jewis spirit in the past and in the present, and an intimate knowledge of contemporary Jewish problems ...through the kindness of Mr. Jacob H. Schiff, the Harvard Menorah Society has been able to offer to Harvard University annually since 1908 a prize of $100 for the best essay by an undergraduate on a subject concerning the history and achievements of the Jewish people....Faithful to the intellectual and idealistic purposes of its founders, the Harvard Menorah Society...has brought together Russian Jews and German Jews as they have never been brought together before at Harvard . And now, with a loyal and increasing band of alumni all over the country with a large and ever growing student membership, with a high and assured status in the life of Harvard University, the Harvard Menorah Society looks forward with confidence to its future in the service of Hebraic Culture and Ideals (The Menorah Movement for the Study and Advancement of Jewish Culture and Ideals, Ann Arbor, 1914) .
