Born in Philadelphia on March 9, 1821 to a Jewish father and a Christian mother, Dropsie converted to Judaism at the age of fourteen along with his sister and brother in a formal ceremony featuring a ritual immersion in the Delaware River. Dropsie worked as an apprentice to a watchmaker before pursuing a career in law at the age of twenty-eight. He made his fortune through his law practice and through investments in Philadelphias streetcars, becoming president of both the Lombard and South Street Railroads as well the Green and Coates Streets Railroad company. Upon his death in 1905, Dropsie, a life-long bachelor, bequeathed his entire estate to the establishment of a College for the promotion of and instruction in the Hebrew and Cognate languages and their respective literatures. He further directed that there shall be no discrimination on account of creed, color or sex, in the criteria of admission to the College.

Bavaria, under Maximilian I (1598-1651), was a country of around 1 million inhabitants, with agriculture and salt production (a ducal monopoly) being the dominant sectors of the economy. It became a key player in the events leading up to the Thirty Years War. In 1608, Bavaria occupied and annexed the hitherto free Imperial and Lutheran city of Donauworth. The action caused the Protestant princes and cities to found the Protestant Union. Bavaria then concluded an alliance with the Austrian and Hungarian Estates. In 1609 Bavaria became the leading force in the newly founded (Catholic) Holy League, an alliance formed against the Protestant Union. Consolidating his governance, Duke Maximilian, in 1616 introduced a new Bavarian Landrecht (Law Code), which was a compilation, reworking, and summation of all the laws and codes. Includes the codes of: Judicial Procedure; Court Laws; State Laws; Police Law; Forestry, hunting, and fishing regulations; Etc.

Softcover, 8vo, 56 pages, 28 cm. SUBJECT (S) : Biography; Government publication; National government publication. Brandeis (18561941) , was a U. S. Jurist, the first Jew to be appointed to the U. S. Supreme Court. Brandeis was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the youngest of four children of Adolph and Frederika Dembitz Brandeis. Brandeis formed a law partnership in Boston with a former classmate, and by the age of 30 he had achieved financial independence, thanks both to the success of his legal practice and to a deliberately frugal style of living. When Woodrow Wilson was elected president in 1912 on a platform of the New Freedom, he turned to Brandeis for counsel in translating ideas of political and social reform into the framework of legal institutions. In 1916 Wilson nominated Brandeis as a justice of the Supreme Court, precipitating a contest over confirmation in the Senate that lasted more than four months confirmation was finally voted on June 1, 1916 (Freund in EJ 2007) .
