181262075Hafnia Schultz 1812. 4to. In contemporary blank green boards. Light wear to extremities. Internally nice and clean printed on heavy blue paper. 4 62 2 pp. <br/><br/><em>Exceedingly rare first edition possibly gift-copy of Dampe's doctoral dissertation on ethics in the Koran. Dampe was subject to arguable the most profound miscarriage of justice in Danish history. In 1820 Dampe was sentenced to death for advocating the abolition of absolute monarchy and the establishment of a free constitution. However his sentence was commuted to exile and he was imprisoned in "the Balloon" on the tiny island of Fredriksø. Following the abolition of exile as a form of punishment in 1840 he was placed under house arrest on Bornholm. In 1848 he was granted amnesty by Denmark's new king Frederick VII. The following year in 1849 the Danish Constitution was introduced pretty much the way Dampe had proposed. His dissertation provides an overview of the main principles of the Quran’s ethical teachings the arguments for following them pre-Islamic Arab ethics before Muhammad and what Muhammad thought about himself. Then follows an excursus on Muhammad’s clever ways of granting himself authority and finally an appendix with ten pages of philological commentary. Biblioteca Danica I 596. </em> hardcover

First published in 1901 this is a 1902 printing.</p> <br/> <br/> <p>Riis's autobiography begins with his youth in Denmark including his initially one-sided bond with his beloved wife Elizabeth and his many struggles and ventures after emigrating to New York as a young man. A fiercely successful immigrant Riis came to prominence in 1890 with the publication of How the Other Half Lives his exposé of life in the immigrant slums of New York illustrated with reproductions of his own photographs. His motivation to document these people and their living conditions prompted him to become a pioneer of flash photography. His numerous books and articles published on the subject of urban poverty brought him into contact and friendship with Theodore Roosevelt who also espoused his cause.</p> <br/> <br/> <p>The letters are addressed to "My Dear Doctor" identified in a pencil inscription on one letter as Dr. M. Victor Safford an Ellis Island medical doctor and officer who was a staunch practitioner of what Emmanuelle Birn calls "snapshot diagnoses" Dolmage: the routine practice of assessing the medical status of hopeful immigrants based on the smallest cues from their unwitting movements upon arrival-usually in combination with other standards associated with the officer's perception of their culture race or ethnicity. In both letters Riis is evidently responding to a series of articles written by Safford which the latter is attempting to publish. In the first letter dated April 28 1903 Riis writes: "I have read your articles with great interest and can suggest nothing to change." He continues: "Why do you not offer it to the Atlantic." and muses over the possibilities of submission and relative advantages of that paper to the Boston Herald. The second letter dated May 3 of the same year responds to Safford's apparently ongoing attempts to get the series published as such rather than allowing the articles to be separated by a paper whose audience is "engaged." Riis writes:<br/> <p style="padding-left: 2em;">Your article on the Italian in all its brevity is such a clear headed conclusion to the understanding of that kind of immigration that I hope more than ever you can persuade the Atlantic to take the whole series. They would certainly take that article but it ought all to be published.<br/> <p>Safford was deeply involved in immigration policy from the late 1800s into the 1920s when he wrote a memoir on the topic. He spearheaded the creation of the "List of Races or Peoples" in order to keep track of "people who maintain recognized communities" Smith but as a member of the Immigration Restriction League was criticized by those who wanted to track racial status only in order to foster and maintain multiculturalism.</p> <br/> <br/> <p>This volume belonged to the Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives Stephen S.

The first offprint is on the development of organs in phanerogams plants with seeds; "his theory of the flower and fruit is an admirable performance for the time even though we abandon his view of the stalk nature of placentas and some other notions as we obviously must. As Robert Brown founded the history of the development of the ovule so Schleiden founded that of the flower and his example influenced other botanists" Von Sachs History of Botany 1530-1860. Schleiden presented these offprints to British chemist Dr. William Francis who in 1852 joined with publisher Richard Taylor to found the firm of Taylor and Francis. unknown
194650723Munich cancel imprint in English: Rabbinical Representative by Central Commitee sic of Liberated Jews in the American Occupied Zone 1946. First edition thus. Hardcover. Good. Elephant folio 15-3/4" x 11". 2 192 32 28pp. Rebound in modern tan soft leather with blind-stamped star of David on the front cover. Gilt and blind-stamped tooling and gilt lettering on the spine. Raised bands. Decorative endpapers. Pictorial title page printed in black & red against a yellow the color Jews were forced to wear background. It depicts both the suffering and the hope for redemption of the Jewish people. The bottom shows life in the concentration camp and the top shows the yearning for a new Jerusalem. The images are attributed to the artist Grisha Rosenkranz who was active in the DP camps. Text in Hebrew states: "As afflicted prisoners there we sat learned and prayed in secret."<br /> <br /> This volume of "Keddushin" the first of the two printed was the precursor to the famous full 19-volume set known as the "Survivors' Talmud" or the "US Army Talmud" so-called because it was the first complete Talmud printed in Europe after the Holocaust. At the end of the war Jewish survivors and residents of the DP camps had few or no books. The efforts to provide resources to Jews without access to Talmud study in the direct aftermath of the war fell primarily upon the shoulders of two Lithuanian Rabbis Samuel Abba Snieg chief rabbi of the US occupied zone and Samuel Jacob Rose both survivors of Dachau. It was accomplished utilizing two odd volumes of the 1886 Romm edition of the Talmud printed in Vilna tractates Keddushin and Nedarim found at the monastery in St. Ottilien. Printing plates for these volumes were created using a photomechanical offset process. It should be noted that when the full set of the Talmud was eventually published it was derived from the later Vilna editions which contain additional rabbinic commentary not found in the earlier editions.<br /> <br /> The rabbis' intent from the very beginning was to print a complete set of the Talmud however these two tractates were the only ones found in good enough to reproduce. Later with the assistance of Rabbis Philip S. Bernstein and Abraham Klausner they were able to print a complete set in Heidelberg in 1948 The Survivors' Talmud. <br /> <br /> There is some dampstain rippling to the lower fifth of the text with an attendant tidemark that is mostly in the blank bottom margin but occasionally extends into the text readability is not affected. Scarce. Alternate title: Survivors' Talmud<br /> <br /> Grisha Rosenkranz aka Gregory Rosenkranz was a Lithuanian-born Jewish artist and Hebrew teacher. In addition to his work on the illustrations for these volumes of the Talmud he was an active artist in the DP camps after the war and was known to have designed a theater sets for a play produced in the camps. Later he emigrated to the United States eventually settling in Miami where he taught Hebrew Jewish studies and art. He also created art for the PBS TV program 'Living Hebrew'.<br /> <br /> With thanks to Jackie Ben Efraim for her research on these Talmuds.

Trew founded the periodical Commercium litterarium ad rei et medicinae scientiae naturalis one of the first general medical journals and from 1743 served as director of the Kaiserlich-Leopoldinisch-Carolingischen Akademie der Naturforscher.
