Raisin, Jacob S.
THE HASKALAH MOVEMENT IN RUSSIA.
355 p. + Frontis and full page plates. Publisher's device on title page. 8vo. Original full green cloth binding, gold lettered spine. Hardbound. First Edition. "The Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment, was an intellectual movement in Europe that lasted from approximately the 1770s to the 1880s. The Haskalah was inspired by the European Enlightenment but had a Jewish character. It encouraged Jews to study secular subjects, to learn both the European and Hebrew languages, and to enter fields such as agriculture, crafts, the arts and science. The maskilim (followers of the Haskalah) tried to assimilate into European society in dress, language, manners and loyalty to the ruling power. The Haskalah eventually influenced the creation of both the Reform and Zionist movements" - Shira Schoenberg. Some of its leaders in Russia were: Tobias Cohn; Isaac bar Levinsohn; Max Lilienthal; Alexander Zederbaum; Perez ben Mosheh Smolenskin; Moses Lob Lilienblum; and others. Very good copy. JUDAICA BOX 2

Aeschines and Demosthenes.
AISXINOU O KTA KTHSIFWNTOS KAI DHMOSQENOYS O PERI STEFANOY LOGOS. [ORATIONS]. Interpretione Latinam P. Foulkes & J. Freind. Editio Secunda.
pp. (14), 182, (18). The very thin paper used to cancel a4 and b4 has deteriorated - completely on a4. Text in Greek with Latin notes. Three engraved portraits have apparently been removed. ** Extensive manuscript translations into English. 8vo. (in 4). [18 5 x 113 mm.] Contemporary full calf binding. Boards tooled in blind with several frames. Cracked at joints. Early ownerships, including: Jacob Nash, Oxford and E.G. Davis, 1847. Dibdin I:487. Aeschine s (Ca. 390?314 B.C.), Athenian orator and polititian, was a great rival of Demosthenes (384??322 B.C.). He rose from humble circumstances and became powerful in politics because of his oratorical gift s. At first he opposed Philip II of Macedon, then later changed sides, arguing that resistance to Macedonian power was useless. Both he and Demosthenes were members of the embassy to Philip in 348 B.C ., and afterward Demosthenes bitterly and baselessly accused Aeschines of accepting Macedonian bribes. He was to have been joined in his action by Timarchus, but Aeschines prevented this by his oratio n Against Timarchus (345 B.C.). Aeschines defended himself well in his oration On the False Legation (342 B.C.)?a title also used by Demosthenes in his accusatory oration. The trouble between the orat ors grew and culminated in a dispute over a gold crown that the orator Ctesiphon proposed should be given Demosthenes in 330 B.C. Aeschines brought suit with Against Ctesiphon. Demosthenes replied wit h his sturdy defense On the Crown. Aeschines lost and was fined, and retired to Asia Minor where, according to Plutarch, he lived as a professional Sophist. This is offered as much for its manuscript interest as for it being an early printing. W120

Riis, Jacob A.; Alland, Alexander Sr. (Adams, Ansel - Preface)
Jacob A. Riis: Photographer & Citizen
220 pages. Riis "took pictures to document and expose the everyday misery of the despairing and often unseen poor." - from Introduction. "The remarkable journalist and reformer Jacob Riis was the forerunner in America's great tradition of documentary photography. This book brings together for the first time a full selection of Riis's photographs and a detailed account of his extraordinary years with a camera... To Riis, an immigrant struggling to expose human misery in the slums of New York nearly a century ago, such other possibilities as art and self-expression were of no concern. He was a muckraking journalist, to whom fact was the 'mightiest lever', and he took up the camera only because it offered new firepower in his crusade for social justice. Self-taught, he became America's first true journalist-photographer - a pioneer in the use of flash and in obtaining entry to and photographing previously inaccessible slum dwellings." - from dust jacket. "The photographs are direct and penetrating, as raw as the sordid scenes which they so often represent." - Beaumont Newhall, in "History of Photography". Usual library markings. Average wear. Binding sound. A worthy reference copy of this unforgettable compilation. Book
