A Discourse Delivered in Charleston S.C on the 21st of Nov. 1827 Before the Reformed Society of Israelites for Promoting True Principles of Judaism According to its Purity and Spirit on their Third Anniversary

1827305824Charleston: James S. Burges 1827. First and only edition. 18 2 blank pp. 12mo. Modern pale yellow wrappers. Custom chemise and quarter morocco slipcase. Some pale foxing to title otherwise clean. First and only edition. 18 2 blank pp. 12mo. Rarity of American Judaica. A rare pamphlet issued by the first Jewish Reform movement in the United States the Sephardic Reformed Society of Israelites in Charleston South Carolina recording an address by one of the movement's leaders. The Reformed Society of Israelites formed in 1824 when it split off from the Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim KKBE synagogue in Charleston seeking to implement a number of reforms it deemed crucial to engaging the rising generation. In the process the Society posited a distinctly American form of practice. Led by Isaac Harby Abraham Moise and David Nunes Carvalho the Reformed Society of Israelites reflected the fact that as Jonathan Sarna has phrased it: "Jews who did not feel at home in synagogue no longer had to compromise their principles for the sake of consensus; they felt free to withdraw and start their own congregations. In free and democratic America congregational autonomy became the rule resulting in a new American Judaism - a Judaism of diversity and pluralism." The present address was delivered on the third anniversary of the Society by Isaac Cardozo 1786-1855 who served as the group's Vice-President from 1828-1832. Cardozo invokes a "spirit of reform in all existing institutions which is abroad" and reminds the group of its origin as "a society that was instituted mainly for effecting the observance of order and decorum in Hebrew worship: for adapting it to the feelings and propensities of the enlightened Israelite of the present day; and for endeavoring to bring about by argument and petition what neither necessity nor persuasion could before accomplish" before he goes on to defend the mission against various critiques. Apart from being a leader within Charleston's Sephardic Jewish community Cardozo was also the patriarch of an important southern African-American family. He had six children with his common-law wife Lydia Weston a free black woman from a prominent Charleston family--one of a number of openly mixed-race households in antebellum Charleston. One of their sons was Francis Cardozo 1836-1903 who became the first African-American to hold statewide office in the United States serving as Secretary of State in South Carolina from 1868 to 1872. Another son Thomas served as State Superintendent of Education from 1873 to 1876. RARE: OCLC reports only two institutional copies and A.S.W.

182229763Philadelphia: H.C. Carey & I. Lea 1822. Folio. Mounted on guards throughout. Letterpress title copyright notice on verso 1p. 'Advertisement' dated 'June 21 1822' verso blank 1p. 'Contents' and 'Index' verso blank. 46 double-page hand-coloured engraved maps of America all but one with borders of letterpress descriptive text 1 uncoloured double-page engraved view showing the comparative heights of mountains throughout the world 1 hand-coloured double-page engraved table showing the comparative lengths of the principal rivers worldwide 5 letterpress tables 4 double-page 3 of these hand-coloured 18pp. of uncoloured letterpress text. Contemporary half black morocco over plain paper boards rebacked with original spine laid down and corners renewed. Housed in a cloth clamshell case leather label. First edition of one of the most important early atlases printed in the United States: a handsome atlas of the Americas with individual hand-coloured maps of each state in the Union including a seminal map of the West by Stephen H. Long. At the time of publication this was the best and most detailed atlas to be produced in the United States. Fielding Lucas the major Baltimore printer was the principal engraver and substantial historical background text accompanies each map. Among the most noted maps in the atlas is Major Stephen H. Long's "Map of Arkansa and other Territories of the United States." That map which depicts the Missouri basin between Nashville in the east the Mandan villages in the north and the Rocky Mountains in the west was based on the surveys conducted by Long on his expeditions of 1819 and 1820. The map published in Carey & Lea's atlas preceded the official account of that expedition by expedition botanist Edwin James which included a smaller map with similar detail titled "Country drained by the Mississippi Western Section". Carey and Lea's 1822 publication of James Account perhaps explains the prior inclusion of this map with Long expedition information in their atlas. On this famous map is the printed legend which would perpetuate a myth for many years to come identifying the high plains as the "Great American Desert." Carey and Lea's atlas was first issued as here in 1822; an 1823 second issue followed substantially the same as the first but with a new title and revised states of several maps and text leaves generally minor revisions including additional shading to maps and improved resetting of several text leaves.
