Fascinating piece of depression-era Canadian monetary-reform ephemera. This 5.8" x 4.3" double-sided slip provides a backside application form to join the Free Economy League of Canada. The front side features a suggested sample of a Gesell Scientific Currency Note entitled "United Provinces of Canada Currency Note". The "One Dollar" note includes twelve boxes, representing each month in 1936. With the passing of each month this note was declared to be subject to a 1% demurrage stamp charge. Presumably the motivation behind such an instrument was to encourage spending during the depths of the Great Depression, just as negative interest rates of more recent times have similarly been aimed. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Impress your friends with this incredible shrinking currency! Book

1st edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 17 pages, 21 cm. Title translates roughly to "God's Voice From The Fire: A Speech Given in The New Israelite Temple Honoring the Best of the School Teachers and Teachers Lost in the Fire. " Gotthold (1784-1862) was a German Jewish rabbi, politician, and bible translator. He was the first Jew to translate the complete Old Testament into High German, following in the footsteps of Moses Mendelssohn. He also preached at the Hamburg Temple. This speech addresses The Great fire of Hamburg, which began early on May 5, 1842, in Deichstrasse and burned until the morning of May 8, destroying about one third of the buildings in the Altstadt. It killed 51 people and destroyed 1, 700 residences and several important public buildings, necessitating major civic rebuilding and prompting infrastructure improvements. The heavy demand on insurance companies led to the establishment of reinsurance. The Neuen Israelitischen Tempel (aka, the Hamburg Temple) was the first permanent Reform synagogue and the first ever to have a Reform prayer rite. It operated in Hamburg (Germany) from 1818 to 1938 (Wikipedia). SUBJECTS: Jewish sermons -- Germany.

1st Edition. Original binding. Inscribed by the author. 8vo. 383 pages ; 23 cm. In German. Title translates in English as, Foundation for a Systematic Theology of Judaism on a Historical Basis. Kaufmann Kohler (1843-1946) was a German-born U. S. Reform rabbi and theologian. (He) was born into a family of rabbis . (and) received his rabbinical training at Hassfurt, Höchberg near Würzburg, Mainz, Altona, and at Frankfurt am Main (under Samson Raphael Hirsch) , and his university training at Munich, Berlin, Leipzig, and Erlangen (Ph. D. 1868; his thesis, "Der Segen Jacob's", was one of the earliest Jewish essays in the field of the higher Biblical criticism, and its radical character had the effect of closing to him the Jewish pulpit in Germany) . Abraham Geiger, to whose Zeitschrift Kohler became a contributor at an early age, strongly influenced his career and directed his steps to America. In 1869 he accepted a call to the pulpit of the Beth-El congregation in Detroit; in 1871 he became rabbi of Chicago Sinai Congregation. In 1879 he succeeded his father-in-law, David Einhorn, as rabbi of Temple Beth-El, New York City; his brother-in-law, Emil Hirsch, becoming his successor in Chicago. Feb. 26, 1903, he was elected to the presidency of Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati. From the time of his arrival in America, Kohler actively espoused the cause of Reform Judaism; he was one of the youngest members of the Philadelphia Jewish Rabbinical Conference of 1869, and in 1885 he convened the Pittsburgh Rabbinical Conference, which adopted the so-called Pittsburgh Platform, on which Reform Judaism in America stands. While in Chicago he introduced Sunday lectures as supplementary to the regular Sabbath service. Kohler served for many years as president of the New York Board of Ministers, and was honorary president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis (Wikipedia, 2016) Der Grundriss der Gesamtwissenschaft res Judentums (The Foundation for a Whole Science of Judaism) was an encyclopedic scale project of the Society for the Advancement of Jewish Studies and was published in the years 1906-1935 The authors include(d) leading representatives of contemporary science of Judaism , including next Cohen Ismar Elbogen , Kaufmann Kohler and Samuel Krauss.

In-8, broché sous coutures, (1) f. de titre, (2) p. d'Avis de l'éditeur, 86 p. Edition à la date de l'originale de ce célèbre récit de détention et d'évasion, augmentée de "Extrait du mémoire de M. de Comeyras" et d'une "Addition du mémoire". Le titre courant porte: "Mémoires du sieur Henri Masers de Latude, contenant les opérations qu'il a pratiquées pour se sauver une fois de la Bastille, & deux fois du donjon de Vincennes, avec la suite de ces événements". La rédaction du texte est attribuée, par Barbier, à Jean-Yrieix de Beaupoil marquis de Saint-Aulaire. Aventurier excentrique, Masers de Latude passa 35 années (1749-1784) en prison pour avoir adressé une machine infernale à la marquise de Pompadour. Il parvint à s'évader de La Bastille en 1766. Arrêté à Amsterdam, il fut emprisonné à Vincennes d'où il s'évada encore à deux reprises, mais fut chaque fois repris. Sa libération définitive n'intervint qu'en 1784. "Peu d’hommes ont pris dans l’imagination populaire une plus grande place. Le célèbre prisonnier semble avoir résumé dans sa vie de souffrances toutes les iniquités d’un gouvernement arbitraire" (F. Funck-Brentano). De fait cette brochure, qui eut un immense succès, contribua au climat d'agitation prérévolutionnaire. La Révolution fit de Latude un héros de la lutte contre l'arbitraire royal et l'Assemblée lui octroya une pension. Bon exemplaire, imprimé sur beau papier de Hollande, entièrement non rogné.
