1987222098Oxford 1987. unbound. 3 pages front and back on "Headington House" stationery 8.25 x 5.75 inches Oxford April 28 1987. Written to noted Civil Rights attorney Howard N. Meyer responding to an article that Meyer had written about Wilson and "Patriotic Gore" in small part: ".There was an element of permanent as it were un-critical radicalism in Wilson - hatred of establishments suspicion of the motives of all public men natural reaction to slogans and clarion calls and eloquence in political or national causes within the framework of the establishments of what he regarded as hopelessly bourgeois countries - he thought that all wars certainly since Napoleon were monstrous bloodshed of a horrible kind in the interests of groups disguised as ideals - all that he got from Marx and similar writers - this applied to both World Wars and obviously to the Civil War and rather more plausibly to Vietnam. He obviously did not mind sheer killing as such because that does not emerge in for example 'To the Finland Station' - it was only towards the end of his life partly under the influence of Solzhenitsyn and other irrefutable evidence that he turned against the Soviet Union and became nauseated by Stalin and everything to do with him - and his distaste even turned to the once-hallowed Lenin. I had a conversation with him in which he reminded me that I had said that he was too nice about Lenin - he agreed and the Introduction to the second or a later edition of 'To the Finland Station' altered this approach.I realize and from my knowledge of Edmund whose memory I still revere and of whom I am deeply fond. His loss of faith in Russia which began after his visit in the thirties but still persisted when I first met him was I suppose true of an entire generation of American leftists and British ones too; It was a marvelous mass delusion which I think perhaps has no parallel in history. Of course he must have been right in part about the crushing of the Southern states the exploitation and the bullying.but this should not have extended to respect for his violent and irrational political prejudices ferocious suspicion and desire to discredit honorable human motives just wars general idealism above all Lincoln's reputation. He simply wanted to attack icons and fetishes as such - and in the course of this said a great many untrue unjust and silly things." This letter contains much more fine content and is effectively an unpublished essay and critique of one of the most distinguished writers of the 20th century. Horizontal folds tiny stains and a paperclip impression in the top margins. Still very good condition.<br/><br/> Russian-British philosopher and historian of ideas regarded as one of the leading thinkers of the twentieth century and as the dominant liberal scholar of his generation.<br/><br/> unknown books

Book Description: "Isaiah Berlin was deeply admired during his life but his full contribution was perhaps underestimated because of his preference for the long essay form. The efforts of Henry Hardy to edit Berlin's work and reintroduce it to a broad eager readership have gone far to remedy this. Now Princeton is pleased to return to print under one cover Berlin's essays on Vico Hamann and Herder. These essays on three relatively uncelebrated thinkers are not marginal ruminations but rather among Berlin's most important studies in the history of ideas. They are integral to his central project: the critical recovery of the ideas of the Counter-Enlightenment and the explanation of its appeal and consequences--both positive and often tragic.

Raffalovich left for Europe where he studied in Berlin and London obtaining his rabbinical diploma at the Hildesheimer Seminary in Berlin. He served congregations in Manchester and Wales and the Hope Place Synagogue in Liverpool 1904–24. While on a mission to South America in 1923 he was invited by the Jewish Colonization Association ica to go to Brazil as its representative promote immigration to that country and serve as a spiritual guide to the Jewish community. In this capacity he toured the country established welfare institutions and improved already existing ones and helped the newly established communities and synagogues. Raffalovich appealed to the common heritage of the Ashkenazi and Sephardi immigrants in working for the coordination of Jewish life in Brazil and it was through his personal efforts that more than 30 Jewish schools and teachers' training courses were firmly established. His publications include….the first Jewish sermons in Portuguese printed in modern times Rudimentos de judaismo 1926. In 1935 he retired to Erez Israel and five years later was appointed senior Jewish chaplain to the British forces in the Middle East.
