RARE compilation of all articles of the third year (dritter Jahrgang) of 'Ben-Chananja', one of the most influential 19th century Jewish periodicals in German. The editor of this periodical was Leopold (Lipot) Löw (1811-1875) - the outstanding Reform rabbi of nineteenth-century Hungary, historian, and Judaic scholar; he was one of the first rabbis in Hungary to combine rigorous traditional training with a university education, advocating religious, educational, and communal reforms in his manifold roles as preacher, polemicist, editor, scholar, and historian. He played an important part in the fight for Jewish emancipation and the Magyarization of Hungarian Jewry.

144 p. 12mo. Lightly foxed. Original flexible cloth wraps, lettered in gold, and decorated in blind. ** Manuscript inscription "Rev. Abiel Abbot, D.D. with the best love of his nephew, A. A. Livermore." Horace Mann, politician and educator, came from humble beginnings, but by his own exertions he was graduated at Brown in 1819. After his graduation he was tutor in Latin and Greek in Brown, entered the Litchfield, Connecticut, law-school in 1821, and in 1823 was admitted to the bar, opening an office in Dedham, Massachusetts. He was elected to the legislature in 1827, and was active in the interests of education, public charities, and laws for the suppression of intemperance and lotteries. He established the State lunatic asylum at Worcester, and in 1833 was chairman of its board of trustees. He continued to be returned to the legislature as representative from Dedham till his removal to Boston in 1833, when he entered into partnership with Edward G. Boring. In the practice of his profession he adopted the principle never to take the unjust side of any cause, and he is said to have gained four fifths of the cases in which he was engaged, the influence that he exerted over the juries being due in a great measure to the confidence that all felt in his honesty of purpose. He was elected to the State Senate from Boston in 1833, was its President (1836-7). From 1837 to 1848 he was Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education. In the spring of 1848 he was elected to the U.S. Congress as a Whig, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John Quincy Adams. His first speech in that body was in advocacy of its right and duty to exclude slavery from the territories. In 1850 he was engaged in a controversy with Daniel Webster in regard to the extension of slavery and the fugitive-slave law. Mann was defeated by a single vote at the ensuing nominating convention by Mr. Webster's supporters; but, on appealing to the people as an Independent Anti-Slavery candidate, he was re-elected, serving from 1848 to 1853. In September, 1852, he was nominated for Governor of Massachusetts by the Free-Soil Party, and the same day was chosen President of Antioch College. Failing in the election for governor, he accepted the Presidency of the college, in which he continued until his death. He carried that institution through pecuniary and other difficulties, and satisfied himself of the practicality of co-education. ** The inscriptions involve: Abiel Abbot (1765-1859), a famous New England clergyman; and Abiel Abbot Livermore, also a famed New England clergyman, educator, and author.
