He begins by informing Harington that he has sent a letter to The Times but that he fears it is 'too long for this busy time with the newspapers'. He asks him his opinion of 'the calm & sober judgment of Stephen' i.e. Sir Herbert Stephen 1857-1932. The letter continues: 'The Bill will not be in Committee for a week or ten days so you have plenty of time to consider your letter to the A. G. When notice of all the Amendments has been given the Lord Chancellor will no doubt I should think consult the Cabinet as to which if any of them the Government will accept. The L. C. Lord Cross Lord James Sir Matthew Ridley Lord Salisbury & others in Cabinet with actual experience & the A. G. & Solicitor. General. & men like Sir Edmund Clarke & others out of the Cabinet ought to make a good working Bill.'

It begins: 'Poland thinks that care must be taken that prisoners should not be able to say that the Prosecutor & his witnesses have sworn so & so &c & the Prisoner and his wife only stated so & so.

With emendations by both Harington and Poland including directions by the latter for the insertion of the two riders Item Two above. Begins: 'I have had a long talk with Poland over the prisoner's evidence bill on the assumption that its principle is taken to be established & is not open to argument. We agree very decidedly that its operation should extend equally to every class of criminal case whether triable on indictment at a General Session of Oyer & Terminer or Quarter Sessions or <> at Police Courts & Petty Sessions'. Harington proceeds to argue his position forcefully and in great detail. At one point Poland writes: 'Poland cannot go so far as this & the danger of injustice already exists from incompetent judges Chairmen of Q. S. & Recorders & magistrates'.

Varshe [Warsaw]: Farlag "di Velt", 1928. Paper Wrappers, 8vo, 95 pages. Monthly Bundist periodical ran from Vol. I, Nr, 1 (Oct. 1927) to 1932. 23 cm. In Yiddish. Unobtrusive Bund rubber stamp on some volumes. For example, Levin (1977) reports that it was in UNZER TSAYT that the very first reports of the Bund's split over the National Question with the Russian Social Democrats were published (in 1927). The Bund in Poland, here providing its unique Polish Jewish Socialist anti-Zionist perspective. The General Jewish Labour Bund in Lithuania, Poland and Russia (Yiddish: algemeyner yidisher arbeter-bund in lite, poyln un rusland), generally called The Bund or the Jewish Labour Bund, was a secular Jewish socialist party.... founded in Vilnius on October 7, 1897 ..In 1917 the Polish part of the Bund, which dated to the times when Poland was a Russian territory, seceded from the Russian Bund and created a new Polish General Labor Bund which continued to operate in Poland in the years between the two world wars .The Bund sought to unite all Jewish workers in the Russian Empire into a united socialist party, and also to ally itself with the wider Russian social democratic movement to achieve a democratic and socialist Russia. The Russian Empire then included Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine and most of present-day Poland, areas where the majority of the world's Jews then lived. They hoped to see the Jews achieve a legal minority status in Russia. Of all Jewish political parties of the time, the Bund was the most progressive regarding gender equality, with women making up more than one-third of all members. The Bund actively campaigned against anti-Semitism. It defended Jewish civil and cultural rights and rejected assimilation. However, the close promotion of Jewish sectional interests and support for the concept of Jewish national unity (klal yisrael) was prevented by the socialist universalism of the Bund. The Bund avoided any automatic solidarity with Jews of the middle and upper classes and generally rejected political cooperation with Jewish groups that held religious, Zionist or conservative views. Even the anthem of the Bund, known as "the oath" (di shvue in Yiddish), written in 1902 by Sh. An-ski, contained no explicit reference to Jews or Jewish suffering. At the heart of the vision of the future of the Bund was the idea that there is no contradiction between the national aspect on the one hand and the socialist aspect on the other. As a strictly secular organization, the Bund renounced the Holy Land and the sacred language (Hebrew) and chose to speak Yiddish .In its early years the Bund had remarkable success, gaining an estimated 30,000 members in 1903 and an estimated 40,000 supporters in 1906, making it the largest socialist group in the Russian Empire . the Bund was a founding collective member at the RSDLP's first congress in Minsk in March 1898. For the next 5 years, the Bund was recognized as the sole representative of the Jewish workers in the RSDLP, although many Russian socialists of Jewish descent, especially outside of the Pale of Settlement, joined the RSDLP directly .The Bund generally sided with the party's Menshevik faction led by Julius Martov and against the Bolshevik faction led by Vladimir Lenin during the factional struggles in the run-up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 .In the Polish areas of the [Russian] empire, the Bund was a leading force in the 1905 revolution. At that time the organization probably reached the height of its influence. It called for an improvement in living standards, a more democratic political system and the introduction of equal rights for Jews. At least in the early stages of the first Russian Revolution, the armed groups of the "Bund" were likely the strongest revolutionary force in Western Russia. During the following years, the Bund went into a period of decay .The Bund eventually came to strongly oppose Zionism, arguing that emigration to Palestine was a form of escapism. The Bund did not advocate separatism. Instead, it focused on culture, rather than a state or a place, as the glue of Jewish nationalism. . The Bund also promoted the use of Yiddish as a Jewish national language and to some extent opposed the Zionist project of reviving Hebrew. The Bund won converts mainly among Jewish artisans and workers, but also among the growing Jewish intelligentsia. It led a trade union movement of its own. It joined with the Poalei Zion (Labour Zionists) and other groups to form self-defense organisations to protect Jewish communities against pogroms and government troops. During the Russian Revolution of 1905 the Bund headed the revolutionary movement in the Jewish towns, particularly in Belarus and Ukraine ..In 1921, the Communist Bund [in the USSR] dissolved itself and its members sought admission to the Communist Party....Many former Bundists, like Mikhail Liber and David Petrovsky, perished during Stalin's purges in the 1930s. The Polish Bundists continued their activities until 1948. During the latter half of the 20th century the Bundist legacy was represented through the International Jewish Labor Bund, a federation of local Bundist groups around the world .Among the exiled Bundists who went on with Socialist politics in America was Baruch Charney Vladeck (18861938), elected to the New York Board of Aldermen as a Socialist in 1917 [and] 1937 [and] manager of The Jewish Daily Forward Moishe Lewis (18881950)....the father of David Lewis (19091981), a leader of the New Democratic Party in Canada .David Dubinsky (18921982), though never formally a member of the party, had joined the bakers' union, which was controlled by the Bund, and was elected assistant secretary within the union by 1906 ..He later became a member of the Socialist Party of America, helped found the American Labor Party in 1936 and was from 1932 till 1966 the leader of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union ..under the name Max Goldfarb, David Petrovsky (18861937) was a member of the Central Committee of the Jewish Socialist Federation of America, a member of the Socialist Party of America, and the labor editor of The Forward (Wikipedia).

"The monumental, two-volume novel Tsemakh Atlas (19671968; translated as The Yeshiva) is Grade's richest work about the Musar world and its attempt to shape the ethical personality. Through the memorable character of Tsemakh Atlas, a tortured teacher of Musar who is trapped between its self-abnegating demands, the enticements of the secular world, and his own elemental desires, readers enter a universe of high religious ideals, intellectual and moral debate, and intense spiritual struggle. " - YIVO Encyclopedia.

Acquaforte misure: mm 220 x 167 I Sadeler furono una famiglia di artisti fiamminghi, principalmente incisori di riproduzione, attivi in tutta Europa tra il XVI e il XVII secolo. Lo stile dei membri della famiglia è molto simile e non sempre facilmente distinguibile ma per tre generazioni, spostandosi dall’Olanda all’Italia, fermandosi in Germania e a Praga, questi incisori, editori e commercianti di stampe hanno giocato un ruolo centrale nella diffusione delle immagini. Dal 1572 Jan/Johan lavorò ad Anversa centro mondiale della stampa, e divenne anche un maestro della Corporazione di San Luca. Con suo fratello minore Rafael il Vecchio si trasferì inizialmente a Colonia ma i tumulti della rivolta olandese costrinsero gli artisti di Anversa a spostarsi e così i Sadeler giunsero in Italia nel 1593 in particolare a Venezia dove aprirono una stamperia. Il culto di San Giacinto, santificato da Clemente VIII nel 1594, ebbe larga diffusione tra il XVI e il XVII secolo. Jacko Odrovaz è stato un Predicatore polacco, nato in Slesia nel 1183 e morto a Cracovia nel 1257, dopo l'incontro in Italia con Domenico di Cuzman decise di farsi domenicano ricevendo l'ordine di diffondere l'ordine domenicano in Europa Orientale. Fondò i conventi di Danzica, Cracovia, Friesach e Kiev, favorì l'unione della chiesa d'oriente con quella d'occidente. A Kiev, durante un attacco dei Tartari si dice che gli apparse la Vergine chiedendogli di portare in salvo una sua statua. Questa stampa è tratta da una pala d'altare, oggi al Museo del Louvre (Louvre), commissionata dalla famiglia emiliana Turrini a Ludovico Carracci nel 1594 per la cappella di famiglia in San Domenico a Bologna raffigura esattamente l'apparizione della Vergine. Rispetto al dipinto lo sfondo appare semplificato, tra le rigonfie nubi non ci sono angeli ma teste di cherubini, e la lapide che occupa la parete di sinistra nel dipinto scompare nell'incisione. Tuttavia le parole scritte su di essa ora escono della bocca della Vergine “Gaude fili Iacinte quia oraziones tuae / gratae sunt filio meo, et quidquid ab eo / per me petiris impetrabis“. La Vergine è comodamente seduta su di una nuvola, avvolta nel suo abito panneggiato, il Bambin Gesù a figura stante accanto alla Madre guarda il santo inginocchiato sulla destra il quale, con le braccia in segno di devozione, ascolta e osserva le figure divine. L'atmosfera argentea ottenuta grazie all'uso controllato del bulino, zone d'ombra costruite con equidistanti linee parallele, l'impiego di aree non incise in corrispondenza delle superfici del panneggio colpite dalla luce, conferiscono viva solennità alla composizione. Firma in basso a sinistra: “J. Sadeler sculp. Venetiis”. Oltre l'immagine due righe in latino "S.Iacinctus Polonus, S. Dominici socius et discipulus, et ordinis Praedicatorum/primus in septentrione fundator”. Impressione eccellente, fresca e ben contrastata. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Minimi margini oltre la battuta del rame. Filigrana: mezza luna. Bibliografia: Un altro esemplare è conservato presso la Biblioteca Casanatense di Roma.

1st edition. Later boards. 8vo. 153 pages, 25 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates to From My Notebook. Medem (1879-1923) was a Russian Jewish activist and ideologue of the Jewish Labor Bund. The Jewish Labour Bund, founded in 1897 in the Lithuanian Vilnius, was committed to the cultural and national rights of Jews in Eastern Europe. In this regard, Medem dared to oppose the view of Russian Marxists, and even of Lenin. These objectives received support in Central and Western Europe, e.g. from Austromarxists, and especially in several Jewish immigrant workers' clubs in Paris, whose members described themselves as Bundists. One such club, which also saw the education of the workers as its main task was given the name Arbeter-klub afn nomen Vladimir Medem (Workers' Club on behalf of Vladimir Medem). His educational policy ambitions culminated in 1929 in the founding of the Medem Library, which at 30,000 volumes is now the largest Yiddish cultural institution in Europe (Wikipedia, 2019).
