184141441Charleston S. C. : Levin & Tavel 1841. 1st American Edition Original Publisher's Cloth Small 8vo 2 236 pages followed by several unnumbered pages of publisher's advertisements. Singerman 0761 Rosenbach 483. <br> <br> Jacob Rader Marcus the dean of historians of American Jewish history suggests in his work UNITED STATES JEWRY 1776-1985 Detroit 1989 that "The motive that prompted Nathaniel Levin and a Charleston associate to reprint an English translation of the sermons of Gotthold Salomon was apologetic.The book was Twelve Sermons Delivered in the New Temple of the Israelites at Hamburgh. The Hamburg temple in Germany was a liberal Jewish synagog one of the first in Europe. <br> An English translation had been made of the sermons at London in 1839 by Anna Maria Goldsmid the daughter of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid the Anglo-Jewish emancipator and religious liberal. The American reprint appeared two years later. <br> Both editions were intended not only to edify Jews but also to interest and attract non-Jews. It was Levin's hope that these sermons would remove unjust prejudices against the Jew and would present 'the lofty character of the Israelite in its true colors.' A book of this sort would help the Jews put their best foot forward." <br> Interestingly this 1st American edition of Twelve Sermons contains a new preface extolling the religious liberty of America and highlighting the refuge it afforded to the Jews. The new preface is merely signed "L" certainly referring authorship by Isaac Leeser and further supported by the fact that volume is preceded by two pages of advertisements for works by Leeser even though his works had no connection to the Charleston Publisher of this work.<br> That Leeser who would become American Orthodoxy's greatest warrior against the Reform would offer a preface to and advertise his works in a collection of sermons from the breakaway Liberal Hamburg Temple in Germany suggests that he did not yet see the coming threat from the Reform movement. <br> At the time of printing in Charleston Gustavus Poznanski 5 years into his term as rabbi and still somewhat traditional was just starting to make what felt like radical reforms as he "excised the Resurrection of the Dead and abolished the Second day of festivals five years before the same was done at the Breslau conference." <br> <br> America's first Reform import from Germany and it's first synagogue established as Reformed Har Sinai Congregation in Baltimore was still a year away from birth. Indeed the official term "Reform" did even come into use to describe Liberal Judaism except as a general adjective until 1845 even in Germany. <br> Leeser's involvement in this publication merits further study as it is not mentioned in the bibliographies nor in Sussman's comprehensive "Isaac Leeser and the Making of American Judaism." <br> Indeed in the 1840s at the time of this printing "there was a major split in Congregation Beth Elohim which many historians of American Jewish history see as the beginning of the American Reform movement. The conflict began after the introduction of an organ into the synagogue when it was rebuilt following a fire in 1840. <br> The series of conflicts between Reform and Traditionalist elements in Beth Elohim resulted in a complicated dispute between the President who favored Reform and the Board of Trustees which was controlled by the Traditionalists. The President refused to call the Board of Trustees to meet as was required by the synagogue's constitution because he knew they would admit new traditionalist members and obtain control of the congregation. The Board ignored him and met on their own a move which the Reformers challenged in court. The resulting case State v. Ancker has become known as an early example of U. S. Courts refusing to intervene in complex religious questions" Wikipedia. <br> <br> Salomon 1784-1862 was the preacher of the new Reform Hamburg Temple. His "sermons modeled like those of other preachers on Protestant examples were praised by his contemporaries notably H. Heine." Goldsmid 1805-1889 a daughter of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid was a London author poetess translator educator and communal worker JE. Includes bibliographical references. <br> SUBJECTS: Jewish sermons.

1856373747Jules Guillaume Fick Geneva 1856. Full Vellum. Very Good Condition. This rare 1856 edition resurrects a fiery Reformation tract by Franois Bonivard the former Prior of St. Victor in Geneva and a vocal critic of papal authority. Originally penned in the 16th century Bonivard's Advis et Devis is a sweeping denunciation of papal idolatry tyranny and political cunning tracing the rise of the papacy through pratique et finesse craft and manipulation. The title alone is a manifesto: a condemnation not only of Rome's spiritual claims but of its worldly ascent bolstered by false miracles distorted reformers and the machinery of deception. The 1856 printing by Jules Guillaume Fick a Genevan publisher active in theological and polemical works is notable for its typographic austerity and symbolic frontispiece a woodcut archway labeled la porte large & le chemin spacieux qui mene a perdition the wide gate and spacious path that leads to perdition. This visual metaphor sets the tone for the text's moral urgency and rhetorical force. Though the book is printed in French its spirit is unmistakably Calvinist echoing Geneva's role as a bastion of Protestant reform and intellectual dissent. Bonivard's work is more than theological invective it's a window into the political theology of the Reformation where spiritual critique was inseparable from civic resistance. His attacks on les difformes reformateurs distorted reformers suggest a layered critique not just of Rome but of those who claimed reform while perpetuating corruption. The 1856 edition likely served both archival and agitational purposes reasserting Protestant identity in a century grappling with religious revivalism ultramontanism and the legacy of Enlightenment skepticism. For collectors this volume sits at the intersection of Reformation polemic Genevan print culture and 19th-century religious historiography. Its vellum binding untrimmed edges and stark layout reinforce its status as a deliberate revival a book meant to be read debated and remembered. Bound in full vellum yapped edges. Ties now absent. Edges untrimmed. Binding dusty and marked but very firm and sound. Contents very clean and firm. Size: 14.5 x 22 cms. Category: Antiquarian & Rare; Special Interest.

186276501Philadelphia: Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons 1862-1871. First editions. Octavo. Various paginations but all complete. Publisher’s printed green wrappers two issues have had their wrappers reattached a few instances of erosion to spine but never affecting integrity. Overall in very good condition.There were two main series of this publication. The first series began in 1845 under the title Pennsylvania Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy and in 1862 a second or “new†series was begun leaving off the Pennsylvania no doubt in hopes of national readership. It was a yearly publication. This two-series format continued until the journal ceased publication in 1920 after which it was succeeded by what is now known as The Prison Journal. The Pennsylvania Prison Society founded in Philadelphia in 1787 was the first private agency to concentrate specifically on correctional issues. The society's journal was one of the earliest periodicals devoted solely to studies of correction and crime. The articles run the gamut of subjects related to these fields from discussions of penal philosophy to inmate interviews and even down to the brass tacks of the costs involved in running a prison. . The journal not only provides information on prison conditions and the evolution of the American penal system particularly in Pennsylvania but also offers a detailed record of the penal reform movement in this country. They were remarkably foresighted. This can be seen in the following two quotes; "The readers of this Journal need not be told that we are not very sanguine in our expectations of the permanent reformation of the mass of convicts. There are doubtless instances enough of success in such efforts to warrant and encourage them and we are not to suppose that they are ever wholly useless. The true position for us to take is this. The earlier we address ourselves to the cultivation of right principles and habits in a human being the more hopeful is the prospect of success" and this little gem "May we not easily forget that between a score of men in our prison cells and twenty score of men that may be selected from society at large the only difference is that the former are detected rogues and the latter are perhaps greater rogues undetected" It was a bold movement away from prison as a punishing experience toward a kinder belief that prisoners must once again become useful members of society.

183933043Boston: New England Female Moral Reform Society 1839. Very Good. Boston: New England Female Moral Reform Society 1839. First Edition. Octavo; self-wrappers unopened. 16pp. Toning and creasing to edges with a few minor nicks; about Very Good. <br /> <br /> The New England Female Moral Reform Society's stated goal was the "prevention of licentiousness" prostitution the moral double standard regarding both and protecting young women from the "unprincipled destroyer who seduce and ruin the unsuspecting." Indeed this issue devotes a section to "Street Beggars" who are imposters attempting to lead astray the young and unsuspecting. The paper continues in telling the story of two young women who were led to "a house of ill fame" by one such imposter and were saved from a member of the society and thus saved "from this sink of iniquity. from her 'whose house is the way to hell going down to the chambers of death.'"<br /> <br /> Also of note here is the ongoing "Letters to Sarah E. Grimke" portion of this publication which runs several pages in this issue gently arguing several points regarding the role of women in society. The letter concludes with a post script that the author has just received Grimke's pamphlet "Equality of the Sexes" acknowledges her sincere obligations and urges everyone who reads this publication to also read Grimke's.
