18983361Kilburn N. W. 1898. Fine 2 pp. 9" x 7" folded letter on first and last page. Exellent content from one of the most active minds of turn-of-the-century Britain. Israel Zingwell 1864 - 1926 expounds on Tolstoy's "What is Art" which was first published in English in 1898 the same year as this letter. He chastises Tolystoy's "christianise" of art and reflects on his own writings on the subject. Zingwill was one of the leading early thinkers and writers on Zionism and the territorial movement for Jews. "I had already studied Tolstoy’s “What is Art†- a subject on which I have myself published several articles. I have always regarded the work of art as a telephone between artist and audience and so far have an unconsciously agreed with Tolstoy. Tolstoy in fact in his noble but desperate effort to Chistianise life has been forced to try to christianise art. But art is larger than any creed .which appears only designed for the pleasure of the leisurely though in reality all who can may taste of it. Art is short already unites those who are able to be united.In real life we should find that that is what is not-art" /s/ I Zingwill. unknown

In its first appearance in 1892 Israel Zangwill's Children of the Ghetto created a sensation in both England and America becoming the first Anglo-Jewish bestseller and establishing Zangwill as the literary voice of Anglo-Jewry. A novel set in late nineteenth-century London Children of the Ghetto gave an inside look into an immigrant community that was almost as mysterious to the more established middle-class Jews of Britain as to the non-Jewish population providing a compelling analysis of a generation caught between the ghetto and modern British life.<br /> <br /> This volume brings back to print the 1895 edition of Children of the Ghetto the latest American version known to have been corrected by the author. Meri-Jane Rochelson places the novel in proper context by providing a biographical historical and critical introduction; a bibliography of primary and secondary sources; and notes on the text making this ground-breaking novel accessible to a new generation of readers both Jewish and non-Jewish alike.

First Isolation of Actinomyces bovis through Max Wolff 1844-1923 & James Israel 1848-1926. "Die Entdeckung des ersten Vertreters des Genus Actinomyces reicht zurück bis ins Jahr 1877 als der deutsche Veterinärmediziner Otto Bollinger bei einer chronisch-destruierenden Entzündung in Kiefer und Zunge eines Rindes kleine harte Körnchen "Drusen" feststellte welche aus filamentösen pilzartigen Strukturen bestanden Bollinger 1877. Der Botaniker C. O. Harz bestätigte 1877 die mikrobiologische Herkunft dieser Strukturen und benannte sie auf Grund der radiär-strahlenartigen Anordnung der Strukturen Actinomyces "Strahlenpilz" von griech. aktis: Strahl; griech. mykes: Pilz bovis Harz 1877. James Israel beschrieb 1878 eine ähnliche Erkrankung beim Menschen Israel 1878.
