189540853Chicago: S. Ettlinger Printing Co 1895. 1st edition. Original green paper wrappers 12mo 56 pages. <br> <br> The author Isaac S. Moses is prominently listed on the title page as Rabbi of Kehilath Anshe Mayriv KAM Chicago's first Synagogue; these were sermons he delivered there.<br> <br> In addition the title page lists S. Ettlinger Printing Co. in Chicago as the publisher though the wrappers list Bloch in New York. This probably means that Bloch bought the printed run or the remains of it or the plates and put their own outer label on and then continued the distribution under their own name. Singerman 4882 simply listing Ettlinger in Chicago as publisher with no mention of Bloch.<br> <br> In his early days in the United States Isaac Moses "was considered a radical Reformer but later he took a more moderate position. In 1884 he introduced his own prayer book Tefillat Yisrael. <br> <br> Moses was a founding member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and a member of the Reform committee charged with compiling an official prayer book. The appearance of the Union Prayer Book in 1894 has been credited to his personal initiative in preparing and circulating a manuscript when the committee's work seemed to be leading nowhere. Moses also published a number of sermons and textbooks for children. His Sabbath School Hymnal first issued in 1894 ran into 14 editions. While in Milwaukee he edited the weekly Der Zeitgeist 1880-82" encyclopedia.com. <br> <br> In one of these sermons Rabbi Moses discusses the evils that occurred in Egypt and then goes on to say "Does not our civilization show the most alarming symptoms of the evils and the diseases of Egypt We have fought for the emancipation of the negro but the enslavement of the masses by our modern indutrial system threatens to become a plague worse than ever befell the birth-place of Moses." <br> <br> Subjects: Jewish sermons American.

1854List1708Philadelphia 1854. Ninth plate ambrotypes in a union case measuring 2 ½ x 2 ⅛ inches visible in larger case. With the identification of Isaac Rehn with his imprint and “Patented July 4 & 11 1854†imprinted on the case. A fine pair. A striking pair of ambrotypes of Mary and Moses Pennock who were members of the Kennett Square Underground Railroad network as well as active members of the Kennett Square abolitionist and Quaker community. Moses was one of the founders of the Longwood Progressive Meeting. In R.C. Smedley’s History of the Underground Railroad in Chester and Neighboring Counties of Pennsylvania Lancaster Office of the Journal 1883 the Pennocks are mentioned on p. 301 as working as part of the network surrounding Isaac and Thamazine Meredity. Their son Samuel who would go on to secure important agricultural patents is also mentioned twice. <br /> <br /> The images are notable from a photographic history perspective as well as being early examples of the ambrotype process that had been patented in part by fellow Quaker and spiritualist Isaac Rehn. Rehn held a partial patent on ambrotypes along with James Ambrose Cutting of Boston and became unpopular among other photographers for his efforts to extend his patent. He later practiced spiritual photography and was a Professor of Chemistry at Pennsylvania Medical University in Philadelphia. Rehn was also involved in radical politics as a founder and leader of the Philadelphia section of the International Workingmen’s Association which was later disenfranchised by Karl Marx along with several other American sections. Examples of Rehn’s work are held at the National Gallery of Art the Library Company of Philadelphia and Yale’s Sterling Memorial Library. <br /> <br /> Overall a very fine and significant pair of images. unknown

18553206Coyoteville: September 12 1855. Very good. 2pp. plus integral blank. Original mailing folds moderate toning staining and ink spotting but still easily readable. Bottom fourth of integral blank excised. An informative Gold Rush letter about mining in the long-vanished ghost town of Coyoteville which was an extraordinarily rich gold area for a couple of years in the early 1850s. A noted tunneling method nicknamed "coyoteing" was developed in the town and subsequently inspired the name of the town. In the present letter Moses Pine writes to "Catherine" in Branch County Michigan and signs his name simply as "Mose Esq" at the conclusion. The author informs Catherine presumably his wife or sister of his activities some of the economic realities and some of the practical details of prospecting for gold in California. Presuming that "it would be impossible for the whole of Branch County to raise $10 unless they sell a horse" Pine comments that he had ginger bread on the Fourth of July after working all day and yielding a "half Ounce Gold Dust." He then provides a detailed description of his mining: "I am now tunneling in a hill. We are 150 feet under the ground. Day before yesterday we got small respect 25 cents to the pan for the first and the bed rock pitching. I think we will find good pay in the going 100 feet further the expense is heavy as we have to blast and timber the tunnel." Pine also talks of his health and that "I work hard every day do my cooking and baking." He then expresses his hope to get back to Michigan to "rest a few months" but knows nothing of other Michigan folks in California: "Have not seen nor heard anything of them in a year. I guess they have all gone home with a fortune in a horn. Well good luck to the lucky. Old Mose will come home after a while with a pretty hat on." A nicely-detailed letter from an unusual and obscure Gold Rush location. September 12 unknown

186436882np 1864. 4to. Written in ink and signed at the end by Royce on the verso of a single leaf. Several small holes text unaffected a few closed tears two archival tape repairs. Very Good. <br /> <br /> This unusual insightful document illuminates the laws of war applicable to the Civil War. Royce's Petition seeks justice for Confederate Captain Frank R. Gurley. Royce sent it to the Confederate Commission of Exchange. Its author Confederate Captain Moses Strong Royce was captured in Tennessee and imprisoned at Nashville. Gurley Royce's cell-mate had killed Union General Robert McCook of Ohio near Huntsville Alabama in August 1862. <br /> In October 1863 Union forces captured Gurley and charged him with murdering McCook. Gurley Union officials claimed was a guerrilla who shot McCook while the General was lying in an ambulance. Southerners claimed that Gurley was not a guerrilla but a regular soldier in the Confederacy's 4th Alabama Cavalry; and that he killed McCook according to the laws of war. <br /> Harper's Weekly and Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper fanned the flames claiming that lawless Confederate guerrillas murdered the general; feelings ran high. "US General Grant wrote CS General Hardee in December of 1863 and said that although Gurley was a member of the Confederate army that did not preclude him from being tried for having committed a foul murder" online Huntsville-Madison County Public Library essay 'Frank B. Gurley's 1866 Diary'.<br /> Having escaped from prison in March 1864 Royce pleads Gurley's case. "He was confined in a cell for sixty-eight days and allowed only about one hour a day for exercise and was put upon trial for the killing of Genl. McCook. He was obliged to employ counsel to defend himself at an expense of 2500 dollars in greenbacks. The evidence produced completely exonerated him of anything like murder and the argument of his counsel was a complete vindication of his right as a soldier and an officer to do all that he did in bringing Genl. McCook to his death. <br /> "When the trial was nearly ended four communications by flag of truce were sent to the court and were there read - one from Lt. Col. Hambrick one from Genl. Forrest one from Genl. Hardee and one from Genl. Johnston" assuring that Gurley was not a guerrilla but a duly enrolled member of the Confederate military forces. Nevertheless Gurley was found guilty and sentenced to death.<br /> "The undersigned believes that if an effort were to be made by the Confederate Commission of Exchange to have Capt. Gurley exchanged the Federal authorities would immediately send him forward for that purpose and as a friend of Capt. Gurley the undersigned respectfully requests General Johnston to use his influence in procuring the exchange of Capt. Gurley. Respectfully submitted M. S. Royce." <br /> Even after War's end the dispute continued. Gurley having been released from prison in an administrative snafu was re-arrested charged but finally released and placed on parole in April 1866. unknown

182246405442Paris, chez l’éditeur rue Montmartre n° 154, au premier, (1822) ; petit in-8, broché, couv. beige ornée. VI pp. (catalogue), 2 ff. (fx-titre et titre), 246 pp. - Frontispice dépliant gravé et colorié et 2e titre gravé et illustré d’une vignette.ÉDITION ORIGINALE. Quérard Supercheries II, 732 nous apprend que sous le pseudonyme de Le Joyeux de Saint-Acre se cache un certain J. M. Mossé, ou plutôt Moses, marchand de meubles et homme de lettres. La France Littéraire V, 330 précise qu’il est né à Avignon, d’une famille juive et mort à Paris en 1825. Il a beaucoup produit, un peu à la façon et dans le (non) style de Cuisin et vendait lui-même ses livres avec ses meubles et avait créé à cet effet un réseau de distribution chez les commerçants de province. Le petit catalogue en-tête ne concerne que les livres du même auteur-éditeur. Quérard précise encore que ce Moses avait été un temps employé dans les bureaux de la préfecture de l’Aube et qu’il avait essayé de faire paraître un journal à Carcassonne. En 1812 il était à Paris et donnait des articles au Mercure. Dans sa Bibliographie vauclusienne, Barjavel le nomme J. M. Mossé et le fait naître à Carpentras vers 1780 : “Israélite (...) enlevé à sa famille vers l’âge de 7 ans, par ordre du greffier de la rectorie qu’animait un faux zèle catholique (il suffisait alors, pour qu’un enfant israélite fut légalement arraché à ses père et mère que le premier venu eût affirmé l’avoir baptisé), ne fut rendu à ses parents et sur leurs réclamations, qu’à l’époque où fut proclamée l’émancipation politique de ses coreligionnaires (...) Mossé s’est suicidé à paris peu avant 1830” Barjavel II p. 204.

Some wear to board edges especially corners. Small 4tos 19.8 x 28.8cm. Cracking at gutter after vol. I contents and around central gathering in vol. II. Endpapers uncracked at gutters. Mild offset browning and foxing to endpapers. Pencil inscription to blank front endpage of both vols. 40pp. 'Biographical Memoir' to start of vol. I. Unpaginated except for Memoir.

Foxing largely confined to tissue guards. These two volumes were first published in parts from 1823; this is the first edition in vols. Presumably the project was begun immediately after the death of the great neoclassical sculptor in October 1822. Isabella Teotochi Albrizzi 1760-1836 was a brilliant Venetian salonnière and a close friend of Canova; her Opere di scultura e di plastica di Antonio Canova from which the descriptions in these vols are translated was first published in 1809. Byron in an 1816 letter to his friend Thomas Moore described her as a 'very learned unaffected good-natured woman . She has written very well on the works of Canova'. Henry Moses 1781/2-1870 printmaker: Thomas Dodd in his biographical catalogue of English engravers described him as an 'eminent artist distinguished for the neatness and purity of outline' who attained 'the highest proficiency in the decorative and ornamental department of the arts' Dodd in ODNB. His lucid neoclassical engravings with their 'Flaxmanesque manner of etching outlines free from shading or modelling' ODNB are well-suited to depicting the works of Canova. These vols provide an early record of the relocation of several of Canova's works to England as spoils of the Napoleonic Wars notably the colossal statue of Napoleon himself recorded here as 'now in the possession of the Duke of Wellington' and still on display in Wellington's London residence Apsley House. A third volume of the Works of Canova again with engravings by Moses & translations of text by Albrizzi was first published in parts by Septimus Prowett in 1827. These vols are the earliest 2-volume version. Influential work in original binding. Vol.1 is sound VG. Vol.2 slightly shaken.~Robust packaging. All UK orders trackable others on request.
