190942908Albany NY: State of New York 1909. First edition. Very good clean copy with long tear repaired on th verso and tiny chips at one fold on map inch tear to fore edge of certificate and along bottom margin. Ink on drafting vellum with colored outlines. 15 x 24 inches. Docket sheet mounted to verso. In 1874 the Hudson Tunnel Railroad Company soon named the Hudson River Railway Company was formed to construct tunnels between Jersey City and Greenwich Village the route originally to be about two miles commencing at a point under the Hudson River in the westerly boundaryline of the state of New York opposite the foot of Clarkson street at the termination of the Hudson Tunnel Railroad Company of New Jersey and thence running by a feasible route under the bed of the river and beneath the surface of the city of New York to a point at or near the westerly side of Broadway between Prince and Eighth streets; from whence the line proceeds via Sixth avenue to Thirty-third street New York but stopped construction well before completion. The assets land partially-constructed tunnels trackage etc. were eventually sold to the newly-organized New York & Jersey Railroad incorporated on February 12 1902 under the leadership of William G. McAdoo who was later U.S. Treasury Secretary and which then became the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad 1906. The original of this profile was drafted in 1891 before the railroad collapsed and the present certified copy was prepared by the Secretary of State's office on February 25 1909 almost exactly one year after the official opening of the tunnel the Pennsylvania Railroad's North River Tunnels the second to burrow under the Hudson did not open until late 1910. The reason that a copy of the map was requested is not known but what is known is that the railroad was seeking to extend the Sixth Avenue line later as well as other related projects. Perhaps the map was needed to settle some land issue or in some legal negotiations as the pencilled word "referee" appears after two sets of initials. The tunnels still carry a heavy load of PATH train commuters between Jersey City and Manhattan. Similar maps are difficult to locate. The closest a printed "Map of Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Hudson tunnel system January 1908" is located at the University of Chicago and the Jersey City Historical Society. Provenance: Collection of Gerald J. Levy. State of New York hardcover books

15910Three important writings from the first half of the 20th century on Zionism and the founding of the state of Israel. These documents chronicle some of the earliest support for establishing a Jewish state in Palestine and the growing Zionist movement as anti-Semitism spread in Europe between World War I and II. Includes:<br/><br/>"The Jewish Commonwealth" by Louis J. Gribetz a representative for the New York Zionist Organization c. 1918. Gribetz analyzes the earliest statement in support of Zionism from a major international power: the Balfour Declaration in which the British government issued a statement in support of a Jewish homeland. There are no copies of this document at any institutional collection worldwide as per OCLC Worldcat for this very rare publication. <br/><br/>A signed first edition of "The case for the Jews: An interpretation of their rights under the Balfour declaration and the mandate for Palestine" Louis J. Girbetz. New York: Bloch Publishing Co 1930. "The Case for the Jews" is an indictment of British rule in Palestine. This first edition was inscribed by the author to friend and fellow activist Louis Lipsky then-President of the Zionist Organization of America: "To a keen lucid fearless intelect - Louis Lipsky; whose name and will do honor to a great epoch in our history and will forever thrill and instruct - Louis J. Gribetz." Books signed by Gribetz are uncommon; and this copy's provenance is remarkable for its connection to two important leaders.<br/><br/>"The Jewish Problem a Report By the Executive Committee of the League of Nations Union Together with an Appendix Containing Suggestions Concerning Refugees Generally". London: League of Nations 1943. This final piece examines the fate of international Jewish Refugees during World War II; the report covers Jewish persecution and anti-Semitism in Europe a two-state solution in Palestine general recommendations for international refugee crises and details the "best solution" possible: creating a Jewish national home in Palestine.
