Original printed gray wrappers 8vo xiv 1 16-53 pages. 23 cm. <br> English translation of the Jewish Response to the First Anti-Shechitah Campaign in America responding with an explanation of the necessity for Jews to maintain the laws of ritual slaughter.<br> Aaron Zebi Friedman 1822-76 served as shochet or ritual slaughterer in his native Poland before immigrating to New York in 1848 where he found employment in one of the city’s largest kosher slaughterhouses.<br> In 1866 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals launched the first anti-Shehitah campaign in America. The president of the Society Henry Bergh dispatched a letter to the proprietor of a kosher abattoir in New York accusing him of engaging in "barbarous revolting and wicked" practices–the letter is reproduced in full in this work. Bergh further called on him to desist from violating the laws of New York and of God by "mangling and torturing his creatures."<br> Interestingly among the members listed in the letterhead of Bergh’s letter were August Belmont the Rothschilds' representative in America and Charles P. Daly a chief justice of New York.<br> In 1875 Aaron Zebi Friedman renowned for his piety composed a sharp rejoinder entitled Tub Taam to refute Bergh's accusations. He not only succeeded in silencing Bergh but even in convincing him: In 1885 Bergh defended shechitah against charges of cruelty leveled by the Philadelphia branch of his Society. Goldman 1092; JE Vol. V p. 518.<br> Among those who supported the Jewish position on Shechitah in the struggle against the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was President Ulysses S. Grant. According to Joakim Isaacs Grant "was moved by this English translation.to eat only ritually slaughtered meat in the latter part of his life" See J. Isaacs "Candidate Grant and the Jews" American Jewish Archives 17. 1 1965 p. 15 n. 31; I. H.

24124Without date or place but apparently written in Mesopotamia in late 1916. This poem is said to be an earlier work by ‘A Tommy’ the pseudonymous author of the collection ‘If I Goes West’ published in London by Harrap in 1918. WorldCat has no entries to support a second claim: that the present poem was published in 1917 with the subtitle ‘Verses written by a “Tommy†who has fought suffered and triumphed in Mesopotamia and is still on active service there’. While there is no indication that the poem has ever been published in its entirety extracts from it appeared in ‘The Bystander’ 27 November 1916; and ‘The Near East’ 6 July 1917; the latter headed ‘An Alphabet from Mesopotamia’ being preceded by the following: ‘A member of our Fighting Forces in Mesopotamia has composed some verses which he entitles “ The Alphabet of Mesopotamia.†Through the kindness of a correspondent we are allowed to reproduce here some specimens’. There may also be a reference in Catherine W. Reilly’s 1978 bibliography ‘English Poetry of the First World War’. Duplicated typescript titled ‘ALPHABET OF MESOPOTAMIA.’ 2pp foolscap 8vo. Text complete on two leaves of air mail paper glued together. Apparently contemporary and with the look of an item that has been handed around the mess room. Twenty-six four-line stanzas: one for each letter of the alphabet apart from a joint stanza for S and T and ending with an ‘ENVOI’. The first stanza reads: ‘ “A†Was an apple that grew so they say In the Garden of Eden down Qurnah way Till Eve came along and ate it one day And got thrown out of Mesopotamia.’ The poem includes the following stanzas: ‘ “F†Stands for Fritz who flies in the sky To bring down the brute we’ve many a try But the shells that we shoot seem to all pass him by And fall --- on Mesopotamia.’ ‘ “J†Is the jam with the label that lies And states that in Paris it won the first prize But out here we use it for catching the flies That swarm in Mesopotamia.’ ‘ “U†Is the Lake we call Umm-el-Brahm And guards our flanks from all possible karm sic And waters Gorringe’s Barley Farm In the middle of Mesopotamia.’ ‘ “V†Is the Victory we won at Dujailah I heard of it first from a friend who’s a sailor Who read it in Reuter’s on board a mahela On the Tigris in Mesopotamia.’ ‘ “W†Stands for the wonder and pain With which we regard the infirm and insane Old Indian Generals who guide the campaign Which we’re waging in Mesopotamia.’ ‘ “Y†Is the yearning we feel every day For a passage to Basra and thence to Bombay If we get there we’ll see that we stay right away From this wilderness - Mesopotamia.’ Without date or place, but apparently written in Mesopotamia in late 1916. unknown

1942222242Japan. 1942. Black and white photograph with an explanatory slip in Japanese. The photograph measures 20 x 14.5cm; the slip measures 16 x 11cm. Edges of photograph little browned slightly affecting image reverse of slip evenly browned with one edge little abraded not affecting text overall a good pair. A view of a sea of abandoned materiel in Rangoon supposedly jettisoned by retreating Commonwealth forces under a scorched earth policy. The shells of trucks appear to make up the bulk of the scrap - wheel hubs and grilles litter the foreground while stacks of car bodies can be seen in the background. <br> <br>The capture of Rangoon by the Imperial Japanese Army proved to be a significant blow to Allied logistics efforts in China and Southeast Asia. Rangoon had served as the starting point for the critical Burma Road and its capture by Japan was seen at the time as a major strategic victory. Japanese planners had hoped that the fall of Rangoon would prove to be the death knell for Chiang Kai-shek's government in Chongqing still doggedly holding out after nearly six years of continuous warfare. These hopes failed to come to fruition however as supplies were instead airlifted and re-routed along the Ledo/Stilwell Road in Assam and Kachin. <br> <br>With Rangoon under its control Japanese forces were able to sweep across the vast majority of the rest of the colony with the notable exception of its northernmost reaches. By 1943 Japan had established sufficient control to establish the State of Burma as a puppet regime led by Ba Maw. With Burma as a foothold the Indian National Army under Subhas Chandra Bose were also able to establish their own pro-Japanese statelet later that same year. . unknown
1942222243Japan. 1942. Black and white photograph with an explanatory slip in Japanese. The photograph measures 20 x 14.5cm; the slip measures 16 x 11cm. Reverse of photograph lightly browned and slightly foxed in a few spots not affecting image slip also evenly browned on reverse and little creased overall a good pair. A view of a Japanese foot soldier armed with his Arisaka Type 99 and bayonet surveying the Nujiang/Salween Valley and River following what is claimed to have been a successful crossing. On the opposite bank a convoy of trucks can be seen winding their way along a dirt track leading away from the shoreline through a patchwork of terraced farms. The remnants of the Huitong Bridge having been destroyed by defending Chinese troops can be seen at the bottom of the valley. <br> <br>Although the explanatory slip included with the image declares the operation to have been a roaring success with a valiant crossing made and the road to Kunming and Chongqing opened by all credible reports the Salween Campaign proved to be a tactical stalemate for Imperial Japanese forces. Although the IJA had indeed been able to reach the Salween River a successful crossing was never made as National Revolutionary Army troops had taken up an entrenched defensive position prior to their arrival. Ultimately the IJA were dislodged by the NRA in 1944-45 with the assistance of Joseph Stilwell. . unknown

1865List2724South Carolina 1865. Single letter measuring 7.5 x 10 inches folded one double-sided sheet with stampless envelope. Near fine with light normal wear. George Harpole Vannada 1844–1928 was a private promoted to corporal in Company I of the 25th Indiana Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. The 25th Infantry was a volunteer regiment mustered in August 1861 and mustered out in July 1865. At the time of Vannada’s writing the Regiment was involved in the Campaign of the Carolinas – led by General Sherman this campaign would culminate in the Army of the South’s unconditional surrender and effectively end the war.<br /> <br /> Vannada writes that his regiment had “started with 25 days rations from pocotaligo staton for i supose Charleston.†On the way they had encountered:<br /> <br /> “a few Johneys i.e. Confederates not far off i have heard sevrel cannons to day we will be botherd with them all the way to Charleston between here and Buford they had a fort a bout evry 3 miles they wood stop and fire a few shots and then get up a bug for the next fortâ€.<br /> By “Buford†Vannada probably means Beaufort South Carolina which had been occupied by Union forces since November 1861. At this point the Savannah area had been essentially a refugee camp for freed people for several years and Sherman’s Special Field Orders No. 15 which settled them in the nearby South Carolina Sea Islands—the “forty acres and a mule†order—came in response to their request for stewardship over the land. Vannada remarks on Sherman’s order:<br /> <br /> “Gen Foster has been on Buford Iland for 2 years and now Sherman has comand of his troops i think they will get off now this Iland they have to give to the Niggars to setle on that is all that have famlies 40 acre to the manâ€.<br /> <br /> Vannada also accurately forecasts despite the fact that “we don’t often get any papers here to see what is goin on†that there “is some talk of peace down here but i think it is sevrel months off yetâ€. unknown
