THE PROCEEDINGS OF A CONVENTION OF DELEGATES FROM THE STATES OF MASSACHUSETTS CONNECTICUT AND RHODE-ISLAND; AND THE COUNTIES OF CHESHIRE AND GRAFTON IN THE STATE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE: AND THE COUNTY OF WINDHAM IN THE STATE OF VERMONT; CONVENED AT HARTFORD IN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT DECEMBER 5TH sic 1814
Utica: Printed by Merrell and Camp 1815. Octavo pp. 1-3 4-16 disbound. One of many editions printed throughout New England and New York state. The proceedings of a series of secret meetings from 15 December 1814 to 5 January 1815 in Hartford Connecticut of Federalist delegates from Connecticut Rhode Island Massachusetts New Hampshire and Vermont "who were dissatisfied with Pres. James Madison's mercantile policies and the progress of the War of 1812 'Mr. Madison's War' as well as long resentful over the balance of political power that gave the South particularly Virginia effective control of the national government. The more extreme delegates raised the possibility of secession but others sought only to dictate amendments to the Constitution that would protect their interests. Ultimately the convention adopted a strong states' rights position and expressed its grievances in a series of resolutions against military conscription and commercial regulations along with some stringent criticisms of Madison's administration that were agreed to on January 4 1815. Even as the convention finished its business however a British sloop of war was beating its way across the Atlantic with dispatches containing the peace terms that had been agreed to in the Treaty of Ghent ending the war. Moreover as the convention's emissaries approached Washington D. C. they were met by the news of Gen. Andrew Jackson's unexpected victory in the Battle of New Orleans. By the time the emissaries arrived it was no longer possible to serve the kind of ultimatum contained in the convention's report. The war along with the national crisis it had brought about had ended. The secrecy of the Hartford proceedings also contributed to discrediting the convention and its unpopularity was a factor in the demise of the Federalist Party." - Encyclopedia Britannica.

The conference "The American Institute on Judaism and a Just and Enduring Peace was held at the Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati, Ohio, from Dec. 21 to Dec. 24, 1942." Program, report, and results of the conference held at the founding of the American Institute on Judaism and a Just and Enduring Peace. Creation of a 'World Council of Christianity and Judaism' and establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine after the war were urged yesterday in a statement issued by the 'American Institute on Judaism and a Just and Enduring Peace' at the close of its four-day session at the Hebrew Union College here. The statement also demanded the creation by the United Nations of a tribunal to try 'those responsible for the perpetration of crimes against humanity, ' and the removal of all racial barriers. Discussing Jewish post-war reconstruction, the leading rabbis and laymen from all sections of the country who participated in the Institute stressed that after victory has been achieved by the Allied Nations, the Jews, who were among the chief victims of the Nazis, must be given homes and opportunities to rehabilitate themselves. - 'World Inter-faith Council is Urged by Institute on Judaism', JTA Archive, December 27, 1942.

American Jewish Conference
AMERICAN JEWISH CONFERENCE: BULLETIN OF ACTIVITIES AND DIGEST OF THE PRESS: NO. 56
Staple bound leaves. 4to. 4 pages. 28 cm. First edition. No. 56, Dated April 6, 1945. Topics include UN and governmental decisions regarding Palestine, the death of former British Prime Minister Lloyd George, Russian and South African Jewish representatives to the Conference, and upcoming radio program related to the Conference. The American Jewish Conference [was a] representative American organization established in 1943 at the initiative of B'nai B'rith to deal with the problems of Palestine and the European Holocaust. Originally composed of representatives of all major Jewish groups and delegates from local Jewish communities, the Conference was given direction from Zionist bodies which sought a pro-Zionist declaration by a body representing American Jewry as a whole. Such a declaration was overwhelmingly adopted at its New York assembly in August 1943. As a result, the American Jewish Committee seceded from the Conference. Nevertheless, the organization submitted a series of pro-Zionist statements to official national and international bodies and waged a public relations campaign until its dissolution in 1949.

American Jewish Historical Society
HAYM SALOMON, A GENTLEMAN OF PRECISION AND INTEGRITY
Original paper wrappers. 4to. 16 pages. 28 cm. A Bicentennial publication on the life, times and personal papers of the celebrated American Jewish patriot whose efforts helped finance Washingtons army and secure American Independence. Staple bound in fine paper wraps with raised signature title, fine tissue endpapers, background illustrations throughout, all text in red and brown ink, thirty four illustrations, and biographical chronology at end. Text details the life of Haym Salomon (Solomon) (17401785) , early American merchant and Revolutionary War patriot. Salomon, who was born in Lissa, Poland, arrived in New York about 1775 after wandering in Europe and became one of the most prominent 18th-century American Jews. During the Revolutionary War he was a distiller and sutler to the American army, and was captured as a spy by the British. His life was spared, and he served as an interpreter in their commissary department. Continuing to give information to the Americans, he assisted their prisoners to escape British captivity while operating a profitable victualing business in New York City under British occupation. Married to Rachel Franks in 1777, he had to flee a year later to Philadelphia, where he began a brokerage and commission business. In 1781 he became an assistant to Robert Morris, superintendent of the Office of Finance, after serving in a similar capacity as broker and treasurer for the huge expenses of the French army stationed in America. Morris characterized him as useful to the public interest. Salomon also lent money without charge to impecunious members of the Continental Congress, among them James Madison, who recommended him as our little friend in Front Street. In 1784 Salomon expanded his business activities to New York, opening a brokerage and auctioneering house there with Jacob Mordecai. A mason, Salomon was a major contributor in 1782 to the Congregation Mikveh Israel building, Philadelphia. He argued against a New Testament oath taken by officeholders in Pennsylvania and worked for political rights of Jews. Though a successful merchant, Salomon invested most of his money in Continental stocks and bonds, and his accounts showed a deficit at the time of his death. The newspaper obituary referred to him as an eminent broker of this city
remarkable for his skill and integrity in his profession, and for his generous and human deportment. He left four children and a widow, who later married David Hilborn. By 1799 she was living in the Batavian Republic.
Exaggerated claims were made for Salomon's services to the American Revolution, largely as a point of Jewish apologetics. Without question, however, he was a vigorous patriot at great personal risk, and a competent financial servant of American independence and of some of its leaders.

American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
EUROPEAN LEGISLATION ON DECLARATIONS OF DEATH: SURVEY CONCLUDED ON JANUARY 1, 1949
1st edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo, 197 pages. Compiled by the Office of General Counsel European Headquarters American Joint Distribution Committee. "The primary mission of the American (Jewish) Joint Distribution Committee (AJDC) in Europe, has been to rehabilitate and reestablish or resettle the remnants of European Jewry left by Hitler's Germany. In accomplishing this mission, it became very obvious in the days immediately following the war, that one of the most difficult legal problems preventing the reestablishment of European Jewry in their countries of nationality, or in other countries all over the world, was the problem of obtaining declarations of death in the several European countries. The related problem of obtaining recognition and faith and credit from courts of other nations all over the world offered even more difficulties. It was clear that there was no uniform method of issuing cleclarations of death, nor was there any uniform approach by the other nations to recognize declarations of death. " (from foreword by Joel Fisher) . Subjects: Absence and presumption of death. The US Holocaust museum keeps their copy in their Rare Book Collection. Pen note and staples on front cover. Some chipping on cover and spine and blank page before title page. Pages are darkened. Previous owner's stamp on front cover. Good Condition Overall. (HOLO2-145-22+)
