191936901New York December 12 1919. 1919. Very good. - Over 50 words typed on Adler's 9-1/4 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide "The Society for Ethical Culture of New York" stationery. Responding to the American impresario and lecture agent James B. Pond's invitation to join as a member of the reception committee welcoming Maurice Maeterlinck to America Felix Adler thanks Major Pond for the invitation and apologizes as he has "a long-standing engagement for the evening of January 2 and in any case I fear that I ought not to join the Committee". Signed in full "Felix Adler". Folded for mailing the letter is slightly darkened along the right edge and there is a small piece out from the top left corner. Very good. <p>The German-American philosopher Felix Adler 1851-1933 was a professor of political and social ethics. A rationalist social reformer and religious leader he was an influential lecturer on the subject of euthanasia arguing as Robert Ingersoll did for the rights of individuals suffering from terminal illnesses to end their pain through suicide. Adler unlike Ingersoll did not reject religion and argued from an ethical perspective. Born in Germany the son of a rabbi he moved to New York with his family when he was 6 years old. After graduating from Columbia University Adler continued his studies at Heidelberg University with intent to become a rabbi. He was influenced by the neo-Kantian argument that as one can neither prove nor disprove the existence of a deity or an afterlife morality is independent of theology. Asked to give a sermon at New York's Temple Emmanu-El where his father was head rabbi he shocked the congregation with his sermon titled "The Judaism of the Future" which made no mention of God and made the case for a universal religion of morality. It is not surprising that this was not only the first but also the last time he was invited to lecture at the temple. He took a position as a Professor of Hebrew and Oriental literature at Cornell University where he was popular with the students but stirred controversy. He was later offered and accepted the chair of political and social ethics at Columbia University. With Joseph Seligman's assistance Adler founded the Society Of Ethical Culture. Adler argued for the importance of "deed not creed" and set up teams of visiting nurses to serve the homebound poor who were ill and also set up a Free Kindergarten for the children of the working poor. He was the founding chairman of the National Child Labor Committee and served on the Civil Liberties Bureau which later became the ACLU.<p>James B. Pond the American impresario and lecture agent who headed the J.B. Pond Lyceum Bureau brought the great Belgian poet Maurice Maeterlinck to America for a series of lectures. The first lecture took place at Carnegie hall on January 2nd 1920. Unfortunately Maeterlinck failed to carry out his intention to lecture in English because of his labored "phonetic" English. He declared his intention to continue his lectures in French and have the translation read by another person. As a result the lecture tour was a failure and lawsuits ensued on both sides.<p>An uncommon autograph. New York, December 12, 1919. unknown

Two Lane order brochures for other titles laid in. <br/><br/>Bi-lingual. A John Lane book but printed in Boston. " Omar was an Oriental and it is sadly difficult for a Westerner to interpret what an Oriental says. His words may have a specious sound familiar to the ear but may hide a meaning which he would not care for the uninitiated to understand. . It is plain therefore that one is at liberty to choose between the literal and the allegorical reading of 'Umar's graceful and often epigrammatic lines. Frederick Baron Corvo shows that he is a masterly translator. He often penetrates through the decorative filigree of the French style to something approaching 'Umar's own marvellous concentration condensation." - Introduction. J. B. Nicolas considered himself "Soufique". This edition was printed in Boston and was issued one day before the British edition. John Lane The Bodley Head hardcover
