At Coney Island: Bertha Pappenheim in Art and Fiction. Bertha Pappenheim was an Austrian-Jewish feminist, a social pioneer, and the founder of the Jewish Womens Association (Jüdischer Frauenbund) . Under the pseudonym Anna O. , she was also one of Josef Breuers best documented patients because of Freuds writing on Breuers case (Wikipedia, 2016) . Pappenheim, like the majority of German Jews, had mixed feelings about the Jews she sought to help. In general, German Jews shared the prejudices of Germans and other Western Europeans against Eastern Europeans in general and Eastern European Jews in particular, regarding them as culturally inferior, primitive, lazy, and dirty. The views of German Jews, however, were more complex. Despite their antipathy, they also identified with the Eastern Jews. No. 34 in the Series: Monographs of the Hebrew Union College.

Florence Nightingale was twenty-nine when she visited Egypt in the winter of 1849-50 with her friends Charles and Selina Bracebridge. A journey to the fabled land of the Arabian Nights was a fantastic adventure at that time, and Florence wrote long, picturesque letters to her family describing her visit and her views of the country, its history and its people. These letters were edited and privately printed by her sister, Parthenope, in 1854 and were greatly admired by those who read them, but they have never before been published. Attractive, intelligent and extremely well read, Miss Nightingale was one of the earliest women to make such a journey, and she researched her subject well. Her letters are a fascinating account of life in a country whose greatest asset, its past, had only recently been discovered. They are also a valuable record of a way of life that has now vanished. And they are an extraordinary account into the character of a woman who within five years was to become a legend. The brilliant landscapes and unimaginable colors of Egypt also drew artists from all over Europe, and Letters from Egypt is illustrated throughout with the glorious paintings and lithographs of David Roberts, Theodore Frere, Edward Lear and others. 223p. illus.index.

"Before her first journey, no one would have guessed that Isabella Bird would become the heroine of Victorian travel. A middle-aged spinster on the Isle of Mull, she suffered from 'neuralgia ... pain in my bones, pricking like pins and needles in my limbs, excruciating nervousness, exhaustion, inflamed eyes, sore throat, swelling of the gland behind each ear, stupidity'. She was too frail to hold up her head without a steel support, and could barely stomach broth. Nonplussed, her doctors packed her off to the Pacific, the antipodean version of the spas of Switzerland, hoping for a cure." "Once there, her transformation was dramatic. Suddenly in Hawaii she could climb the world's highest volcano - and was the first woman to do so; she rode an elephant through the untravelled jungles of Perak; she arrived in Hong Kong just in time to see it burn; and in Colorado she fell in love with a one-eyed desperado called Rocky Mountain Jim. But whenever she came home to Scotland, her illness returned, making another trip essential." "Ultimately, she became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (another female first), advised Gladstone on the issue of Armenian Christians, and was presented to Queen Victoria in 1893. She also became the mistress of her own mythology, insisting that her books reproduced her letters without emendation, which was far from true. This selection, never before published, contains lengthy excerpts from her first two world tours: to Australia, Hawaii and Colorado in 1872-3; and to Japan, China, Singapore and Malaya in 1878-9. The Isabella Bird they reveal is not the one we thought we knew but instead tempestuous, self-obsessed, occasionally at odds with the idea of Empire, deflecting marriage proposals right and left. The letters also throw light on a fascinating relationship with Henrietta, the equally clever and curious sister who had to stay behind." 356p. notes, plates index. Book
Six volumes in three. Well illustrated with (36) fine copper plate engravings by Audouin and Gaucher after designs by Monnet. 8vo. All edges gold. Foxed and lightly stained here and there. Worn contemporary full leather bindings, with the gold arms and ownerships of Harry Vane Milbank. The eldest son of Sir Frederick Milbank, Bart. Milbank was a celebrated duelist and adventurer. He is currently best known as the second husband of Alice Sidonie Vandenburg (d. 1916), whose portrait by John Singer Sargent sold at Sotheby's in 2001 for almost $300,000.00. Demoustier was a bit of a mama's boy, who gave up his life as a lawyer in the city to live in him mother's rural home and pursue writing. This work, intended for the instruction of young women, was enormously popular. It first appeared in 1790, and this is the last edition published in his lifetime. Most of the attention to this edition has been paid to the remarkable engraved illustrations. They form an important element in the romantic iconography of the classical revival.

1st edition. (FT) 8vo. 272 pages. In Hebrew. Inscribed by the author. SUBJECT(S) : Agunahs. Epstein (1887-1949) was an American Conservative rabbi and authority on Jewish marriage law. [He] was born in Anyksciai, Lithuania. When his father, Rabbi Ezriel Epstein, went to the United States to accept a pulpit, he left his son behind to study at the yeshivah in Slobodka. He graduated from Columbia University and was ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York in 1913. He served in various congregations in Dallas, Texas, and Toledo, Ohio, before assuming the leadership of Beth Hamedrosh Hagdol in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1918 and then becoming rabbi of Kehilath Israel in Brookline, Massachusetts, where he served for the remainder of his career. Epstein was president of the Rabbinical Assembly and chairman of its committee on Jewish Law. He was instrumental in framing various proposals in Jewish law, the best known being a method of solving the agunah problem published in his Li-She'elat ha-Agunah. Under Epstein's proposal, the husband would authorize the wife to act as his agent for the purpose of a get. This innovation was accepted by his colleagues but was abandoned by the Rabbinical Assembly because of the opposition of the Orthodox rabbinate and of some members of the faculty of the Jewish Theological Seminary.
