1826K3DD78TRHAUCParis: Imprimerie Royale back of half-title: Auguste Nepveu 1826. Contemporary red half morocco gold-tooled spine marbled sides. 8vo. With 2 folding lithographed maps partly coloured by hand and 19 hand-coloured lithographed plates. First edition of an illustrated account of a British campaign in Egypt with all the plates coloured by hand posthumously published from the memoirs of the French count Louis-Pantaléon de Noé 1728-1816. De Noè had sailed for India when his position became insecure under the Directoire. He first describes his journey to India on the Cuffnells and gives a geographical description of the region. He also gives a detailed description of the Indian/British army naming the various regiments and showing its soldiers and their uniforms in the coloured plates. In 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte led a campaign to Egypt and Syria with his Armée d'Orient hoping to conquer the region and weaken British power. In the third chapter De Noé describes the British measures to prevent French success. After some defeats the British despatched a large force from India to Egypt in 1800 and De Noé joined it. From Mumbai they sailed to the Red Sea went ashore at Mecca and ended up in "Kosseir" El Quseir where they had to prepare themselves for a journey across the desert. De Noé describes this journey and the people they encounter stopping at Qina and Girga before reaching Cairo. He describes the city and the Gizeh pyramids before continuing to Alexandria. He gives a description of the Ottomans Bedouins and Mamluks all shown in the plates. The last two chapters deal mostly with the negotiations between the English and the Ottomans to impede the French.With the bookplate of Dr. Jacob Philippe Le Dru on the paste-down.

""In 1813 Noah became U.S. Consul to Tunis. The government hoped that he would be able to forge special ties with influential Jews in North Africa and entrusted him with an additional secret mission: to devise a 'means for the liberation' of 11 captive American seamen in Algiers. Noah's efforts to free American captives were mostly unsuccessful. Only two seamen were released the ransom paid was excessive and the secret agent Noah appointed Richard R. Keene turned out to have an unsavory past. Although Noah carried out his other consular duties successfully and also established ties with local Tunis Jews Secretary of State James Monroe recalled him in 1815 In the wake of the recall Noah published Correspondence and Documents 1816 in his own defense followed by Travels in England France Spain and the Barbary States 1819 his most important book.

Discourse Delivered at the Consecration of the Synagogue K. K. Sh'erit Yisra'el in the City of New York on Friday the 10th of Nisan 5578 Corresponding with the 17th of April 1818

181852523New York: C. W. Van Winkle 1818. First edition. Softcover. Nearly Fine. Octavo. 47 1 blankpp. Sewn at spine. Lacking plain wrappers. Faint foxing throughout else a nearly fine crisp copy. The author's first publication expressing his view on the origins and responsibilities of American Jewry being a transcript of the address delivered at the consecration of the new synagogue building of Shearith Israel the oldest Jewish congregation in America founded in 1745. His address received written responses from Thomas Jefferson John Adams and James Madison which were published in his 1819 book Travels in England France Spain and the Barbary States. A man with an astonishing and varied career Mordecai Manuel Noah 1785-1851 was an American sheriff playwright diplomat and journalist. He served as American consul in Tunis after 1813 where he was able in to assist in the rescue of a number of American sailors being held captive. Despite this success he was recalled in 1815 controversially under the claim by the Madison administration that his religion was an impediment to his duties. Among the most prominent American Jewish lay leaders of the early 19th century he is perhaps best known for his idealistic but ultimately failed attempt in 1825 to create a refuge community solely for Jewish Americans on land he purchased on New York's Grand Island in the Niagara River. Predating modern Zionism by many decades he styled this project "Ararat" after the mountain on which Noah's Ark came to rest in the biblical account. "After the failure of the Ararat experience Noah turned more strongly to the idea of Palestine as a national home for Jews" EJ 2nd ed. vol. 15 p. 291. From 1821-1823 he served as the 16th Sheriff of New York County the borough of Manhattan; the Surveyor of the Port from 1829-1833; and a judge of the Court of General Sessions in 1841. As a newspaper publisher and journalist Noah founded the New York Enquirer in 1826 and the Evening Star in 1834. In the realm of more imaginative literature he is considered the first major Jewish American playwright. Noah was featured as a character in the Ben Katchor graphic novel "The Jew of New York" 1999 and Gore Vidal's "Burr" 1973. Noah's cultural pride and surpremely optimistic view of his people's destiny is emphatically expressed in the present discourse: "Never were the prospects for the restoration of the Jewish nation to their ancient rights and dominion more brilliant than they are at present. There are upwards of seven millions of Jews known to be in existence throughout the world a number greater than at any period of our history and possessing more wealth activity influence and talents than any body of people of their number on earth. Let us then hope that the day is not far distant when from the operation of liberal and enlightened measures we may look towards that country where our people have established a mild just and honourable government accredited by the world and admired by all good men" p. 27.

An American Dictionary of the English Language.

1828143614New York: Published by S. Converse. Printed by Hezekiah Howe - New Haven 1828. First edition of pioneering lexicographer Noah Webster's monumental American Dictionary arguably the most popular American book ever published and one of only 2500 copies printed. Thick quarto bound in three quarter polished calf over marbled boards with morocco spine labels lettered in gilt engraved portrait of Webster after Samuel F.B. Morse unpaginated text in triple columns pages untrimmed and hence a copy once in boards the 44 preliminary leaves in Vol. I containing Webster's preface on the history of the dictionary his introductory dissertation "on the origin history and connection of the languages of western Asia and of Europe. With the additional leaf in Vol. II "Additions and Corrections" which is often lacking and without the "Advertisement" lead as issued. Copies in boards did not have the "Advertisement" leaf bound in as did many copies in calf. In the copies in boards the leaf was laid in to some but was never originally bound in. Only 2500 copies were printed. With some spotting to the text and dampstain entering the margin of the frontispiece. In very good condition. A sharp example. In 1807 Webster began compiling a fully comprehensive dictionary An American Dictionary of the English Language; it took twenty-eight years to complete. To evaluate the etymology of words Webster learned twenty-six languages including Old English Anglo-Saxon Greek Hebrew and Latin. Webster completed his dictionary during his year abroad in 1825 in Paris France and at the University of Cambridge. His book contained seventy thousand words of which twelve thousand had never appeared in a published dictionary before. As a spelling reformer Webster believed that English spelling rules were unnecessarily complex so his dictionary introduced American English spellings replacing colour with color substituting wagon for waggon and printing center instead of center. He also added American words like skunk and squash that did not appear in British dictionaries. At the age of seventy Webster published his dictionary in 1828 registering the copyright on April 14. Webster did all this in an effort to standardize the American language. â€œThis dictionary which almost at once became and has remained the standard English dictionary in the United States was the end-product of a stream of spelling books grammars readers and dcitionaries which flowed from the pen of the industrious Noah Webster.Websterâ€™s great dictionary all the 70000 entries of which he wrote with his own hand has been reprinted and brought up to date innumerable times.the book marked a definite advance in modern lexicography as it included many non-literary terms and paid great attention to the language actually spoken. Moreover his definitions of the meaning of words were accurate and concise.and have for the greater part stood the test of time superbly wellâ€ Printing and the Mind of Man. "As a whole Websterâ€™s American Dictionary was a scholarly achievement of the first order richly deserving of its great reputation at home and abroadâ€ DAB. With definitions for â€œsome 70000 wordsâ€”15000 more than any previous English lexiconâ€¦ Although only 2500 copies of the first edition were printed the work established Webster as a lexicographer of international reputeâ€ Lathem 76 United Statesiana 9.
