Good. 8vo brown cloth about very good some light wear and some moderate to heavy freckling to boards contents very good inscribed on Dec. 25 1896 to a Jacob Messerly "with the compliments of the author." In the preface the author remarks "Almost everybody will be disappointed in this book because they have been expecting something humorous. But there is a sad and serious side to every man's life and in mine there has been a homesick feeling haunting my soul since I came West and while roaming over the deserts of Colorado where the silence feels as heavy and gloomy as the shadow of death these songs came into my heart like requiems sung over the graves where I am fast burying the memories of my boyhood friends." Rare both in commerce and in institutions. Press of Pennsylvania Grit hardcover

182842606Boston: Pendleton's Lithography 1828. Uncoloured lithograph. Framed size: 19 1/4 x 15 5/8 inches. An early American marine lithograph depicting the steam packet Chancellor Livingston entering Newport Harbor issued at the outset of steam navigation on the New England coast.<br/> <br/> Published in Boston by Pendleton's Lithography after a design by Moses Swett this print presents the Chancellor Livingston under way as it enters Newport Harbor with passengers visible along the decks and flags flying from the rigging. The composition combines a detailed vessel portrait with a wider harbour view situating the steamer within a recognizable coastal setting and emphasizing both its scale and activity. The vessel itself held a prominent place in early American steam navigation. Originally associated with Robert Fulton's Hudson River operations the Chancellor Livingston was rebuilt in 1827 for service between New York and Providence. The lithograph records this later phase of its career when coastal steam travel was expanding rapidly and such vessels were becoming a familiar presence along the northeastern seaboard. The printed text beneath the image reinforces the promotional aspect of the print listing the vessel's dimensions horsepower boilers and fittings as well as its passenger capacity and accommodations. This combination of technical specification and visual representation places the image at the intersection of ship portraiture and commercial advertisement reflecting the contemporary interest in steam technology and its practical advantages. As a product of Pendleton's Lithography the print also belongs to the earliest phase of lithographic production in the United States. Established in Boston in the 1820s the firm was among the first to adopt the medium on a sustained basis and works such as this illustrate both the technical possibilities of lithography and its application to subjects of current interest. The present impression reflects that early moment when lithography was emerging as a flexible and effective means of producing images of modern life and technology. Pendleton's Lithography unknown

186929565Philadelphia: E.C. Markley & Son Printers 1869. 23 1 blank pp. Stitched in original printed purple wrappers light color fading. Near Fine.<br/><br/> A rare printed argument by Dropsie the prominent lawyer author philanthropist entrepreneur railroad promoter President of Gratz College and a leader of Philadelphia's Jewish community. Representing Philadelphia's Aldermen Dropsie appeals from a lower court decision enjoining the Aldermen from enforcing a new State law designed to prevent voting fraud. Dropsie argues "the necessity for some law to prevent the perpetration of frauds and protect the citizen in his right of suffrage." Existing law has not "restrained the commission of frauds in elections" in Philadelphia. <br/> The lower court had declared that the law's application exclusively to Philadelphia violated the State Constitution's requirement "that elections shall be free and equal." Dropsie explains the true meaning of the "free and equal" clause and argues that it does not prohibit the enactment. <br/>OCLC 58445647 3- U PA PA State Hebrew Union as of April 2019. E.C.

1864AQ32341Wien: In Commission bei Rudolf Lechner 1864. Single sheet. A trifle creased. A rare survival of a chart demonstrating a remarkably involved and somewhat overworked system for a universal language combining both pasigraphy writing and pasilogy sound. In Paić's system individual words are replaced by concepts each concept is assigned an Arabic numeral and in turn each digit is assigned a sound; for example 'Ich höre' 'I hear' is written 2074111 and pronounced dullomaba and 'Du hörst' i.e. 'you hear' would be 2074112 or dullomabe. Rhythm is also incorporated requiring the speaker to intone concepts in specific ways employing iambics pyrrhicians and dactyls. Needless to say the complexity of the system ensured its immediate decline into obscurity no doubt accounting for the paucity of surviving copies of this convoluted chart.

Ephraim Moses Pinner was a 19th century German Talmudist and archeologist. His first work published in 1831 the "Kizzur Talmud Yerushalmi V'Talmud Babli" was a translation of sections of both the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmuds. This was the beginning of his larger project to produce a translation of the entire Talmud. Pinner's work took him to libraries across Eastern Europe. He even secured the aid of the anti-Jewish Czar Nicholas I and dedicated the translation to him. Only the first of the proposed 28 volumes was ever published. Besides for securing sponsorships from royalty across European Pinner gained letters of approbation from several rabbis none of whom lived in Russia. This was down apparently through some trickery on Pinner's part. Published by the author hardcover

First published at Krakow in 1617 this is the author's only published work. Born in Mainz between 1420 and 1430 Moses Mintz studied with Jacob Weil and Israel Isserlein and while still quite young was appointed rabbi of Würzburg. Mintz led a peripatetic life which allowed him to investigate Jewish customs and communal regulations in many towns. After the 1453 expulsion of the Jews from Würzburg he returned to Mainz until the expulsion of 1462. He subsequently went to Landau and Ulm. In 1469 he was appointed rabbi of Bamberg. Four years later he was in Nürnberg and the following year in Posen. There he made preparations to emigrate to Palestine but for unknown reasons decided to remain in Posen until the end of his life.<br /> <br /> "Mintz's prominence and recognized authority resulted in may other rabbis turning to him with halakhic queries on such issues as issur ve-heter dietary laws and communal customs" Heller. His circle of correspondents included Israel Isserlein Joseph Colon Eliezer Treves and his cousin Judah Mintz. As the present collection notably deals with practical issues of contemporary importance especially civil and matrimonial law -- including customs and the enactments of Rabbenu Gershom -- they provide insight into Jewish life in fifteenth-century Germany. Issues of some notable responsa include taxes placed on Jews by local rulers; obligations of a wealthy man to his wife's poor relatives; a woman who committed adultery repented and swears the child is from her husband; if a person blind in one eye can be a judge in a case of halitzah when a man is released from the general obligation to marry his deceased brother's widow; and if one should mourn for a murderer. "Of special value are three responsa in manuscript entitled 'The Three Branches' which are an important source for the history of the yeshivot rabbinic schools of Germany in the 15th century. They depict the woeful condition of pupil-teacher relations which had broken down as a result of the arrogance of the teachers and their exaggerated concern for their dignity as well as because of the pupils' desire for greater freedom of activity and the acquisition of social status" EJ.<br /> <br /> Approbations of Istanbul rabbis: Ezekiel Refael Chaim Alfandari; Michael Ashkenazi; Moshe Frishko<br /> <br /> Provenance: Ink stamps of the Yeshiva Ha-Metivta ha-Gedolah Jerusalem at approbation page and bottom margin of one text page.
