11 [The Internationally Famous Jewish Liberated Actress who was Friends with Walt Whitman, Charles Dickens, and George Sand Rare
INFELICIA
Philadelphia; New York; Boston; J.B Lippincott 1868. Hardcover. 1st edition first printing of Author's only book. Original Publisher's Cloth Brown cloth cover stamped in gold 16mo 7-124 pages; 15 cm. Singerman 2085 for the 126 page edition. <br> Singerman notes that he the "compiler saw the rarer 124 page edition without the publisher's statement about Dickens. " <br> This is that true rarer first printing dedicated to Charles Dickens but without reproducing his warm letter thanking her as appeared in later printings. <br> The success of this book meant that later editions appeared the same year in London as well as in the US published by Lippincott but with more pages 141 & 126 respectively and with the Dickens letter reproduced. <br> Includes some poems with Jewish themes such as "Judith 'Oh forget not that I am Judith! /And I know where sleeps Holofernes' " "Hear O Israel 'The God of Jacob is our Shield' " etc. <br> <br> Menken 1835-1868 was "Internationally famous for her starring role in the equestrian melodrama Mazeppa in which she was stripped on stage to a flesh-colored body stocking lashed to the back of the 'wild horse of Tartary' and sent flying on a narrow ramp above the theater. Adah Isaacs Menken consistently defied social mores. She cropped her black hair and smoked cigarettes and publicly disparaged conventional married life. Menken represented an early example of the cult of personality blurring her private life with her public persona. <br> She married four times in the course of seven years. Her second marriage in 1859 was to the heavyweight boxing champion of the world John C. Heenan. <br> One of the most glamorous celebrities of the 1860s Menken also cultivated a literary following. She wrote poetry and developed relationships with the likes of Walt Whitman Charles Dickens Dante Gabriel Rossetti Alexandre Dumas and Algernon Swinburne. George Sand was a close friend to the actor and was godmother to Menken's second child. <br> A major bone of contention to this day is the authenticity of her Jewishness. Though scholars have some evidence that Menken was raised a Catholic and converted to Judaism only after marrying her first husband Menken herself once publicly rebuked a journalist who labeled her a convert by announcing that she was 'born in that faith Judaism and have adhered to it through all my erratic career. Through that pure and simple religion I have found greatest comfort and blessing.'<br> Whatever her origins it is clear that Menken was fervently Jewish in her adult life. <br> After moving to Cincinnati with her first and only Jewish husband Alexander Isaacs Menken Adah learned Hebrew fluently studied classical Jewish texts and contributed many poems and essays to The Israelite a weekly founded by Rabbi Isaac M. Wise. Her poems indicate a passionate temperament deeply committed to a kind of proto-Zionism and even messianism. Many are collected in the posthumously published volume Infelicia this volume. <br> Menken viewed herself as a modern Deborah calling on Jews to rise up against persecution in Turkey and protesting the kidnapping of a six-year-old Jewish boy in Bologna by representatives of the Catholic Church. She was one of the few Jews in America to protest when Lionel Nathan was denied the seat in the English Parliament to which he had been elected. And at the height of her acting career she refused to perform on Jewish High Holidays. On her deathbed at age thirty-three suffering from what may have been peritonitis or tuberculosis or both and treated by the personal doctor of Napoleon III Menken was visited by a rabbi. <br> Adah Isaacs Menken died on August 10 1868 in Paris. She is buried in the Jewish section of Montparnasse Cemetery" Ackerman 2014. <br> <br> The book is cited in Podeschi J. B. Dickens & Dickensiana B2952; Wolff R. L. 19th cent.

The Rabbi of Sadigora who was a descendant of one of the Rabbinical families which exercised great influence on the life of the Jewish masses in Galicia and Russia arrived in the United States for a short visit on June 12th. <br> Fifteen thousand Jews attended the funeral of Rabbi Isaac Friedman on Monday afternoon.

The Roumanian synagogue offered $5000 in cash for the family of the dead Rabbi and a reservation of eighty plots around the grave in order that it might be assured that no one unworthy should be buried near the Rabbi. The congregation Tifereth Israel undertook to insure support for the family and to make a reservation of thirty-two graves. The demand of the latter congregation was supported by its claim that they were the actual Sadigora Chassidim who invited the Rabbi to America. The Rabbinical court decided that Rabbi Friedman should be buried on the grounds of the Tifereth Israel Congregation….<br> Before the body was interred the Rabbis declared that this was being done on the condition that should his family so desire the body will be exhumed and transferred to Europe.†Jewish Telegraphic Agency.<br> SUBJECTS: Jewish funeral sermons.

DOS LID FUNEM OYSGEHARGETN YIDISHN FOLK
New York; YKUF 1948. Paperback. Original Wrappers. 12mo. 79 pages. 17 cm. Undated edition. In Yiddish. <br> Includes introduction by Miriam Novitch as well as "Vi Yitshak Katsnelson hat geshribn zayne klog-lider" also by Miriam Novitsh on pages 15-16.<br> “Song of the Murdered Jewish People" by Itzhak Katzenelson 1885–1944 a Hebrew and Yiddish poet. â€Katzenelson’s world fell apart when in August 1942 his wife Hanna and two younger sons Ben-Tsiyon and Binyamin were deported to Treblinka. From then on his literary creativity was piercingly shaped by lamentations over the loss of his family. Nonetheless with his oldest son Tsevi he found the strength to join the Jewish Fighting Organization and took part in the first uprising of January 1943. <br> After the ghetto was destroyed in April and May 1943 he escaped to the Aryan section of Warsaw and obtained a Honduran identity document. Nevertheless he was sent to a German detention camp for foreign subjects in Vittel France. He was imprisoned there until April 1944 and devoted most of his time to writing. <br> Two important works were produced during that period: Pinkas Vitel The Vittel Diary a Hebrew composition that uses the language of an incensed diarist and reconstructs the days of terror in Warsaw during the mass deportations; and Dos lid fun oysgehargetn yidishn folk The Poem about the Murdered Jewish People a pathos-filled Yiddish poem that laments the destruction of the Jewish people and of the poet himself who has been become bitterly angry with humankind and God. These two works are among the boldest and most lofty literary expressions to emerge from the Holocaust.…<br> All of Katzenelson’s works from his Vittel period were either buried in hiding places or were given to people he trusted; consequently they were saved and published shortly after the end of the war. <br> In the middle of April 1944 Katzenelson and his son Tsevi were sent to the Drancy transit camp and from there one month later to Auschwitz where they were murdered. In 1950 the Ghetto Fighters kibbutz built a museum and an institute for research about the Holocaust that bear Yitshak Katzenelson’s name†YIVO Encyclopedia. <br> Subjects: Holocaust Jewish 1939-1945 -- Poetry.

No Place New York: Polish Information Center 1942. ; 1st edition. Large double-sided single sheets broadsides 17x 12 inches. <br> Weekly English-language updates from the early years of the exiled Polish government information and propaganda agency from prior to its massive expansion in 1943. Reports cover German atrocities and Polish resistance to the Nazis including news about Polish contributions to the international Allied effort. There are occasional mentions of conditions in the Warsaw ghetto.<br> <br> Checking institutional holdings we could locate no copy later than Nr. 83 from 1943; we presume that to be the final issue in the series. <br> <br> This format would have been convenient for posting on walls etc. <br> <br> “The Polish Information Center was founded in 1940 and remained active until 1945…. its first director Stefan Gotfryd Ropp…. remained in his post for the first three years of the center's existence and was a major force in the creation of a Polish lobby influential in U.S. military financial and political circles particularly to counter American isolationism before the United States entered the war.<br> <br> Originally called Centrum Informacji Prasowej the center at first was funded with the proceeds from the sale of objects that couldn't be returned to war torn Poland. In its first year it operated unofficially but with the declaration of war by the United States it had to fulfill certain requirements from the Justice Department. Later the center became a branch of the Ministry of Information and Documentation. The center's main offices were located on Fifth Avenue in the heart of New York City but it eventually had representatives in Chicago Detroit Los Angeles and Pittsburgh.<br> br>The center had a well-educated and skilled staff involved in the collecting and dissemination of information on Poland and on matters relevant to Polish interests in the United States. Ropp himself wrote regular reports for the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs which are excellent examples of his visionary ideas….<br> <br> In 1943 the center's structure underwent significant changes and its budget was increased. The broadening of operations found immediate reflection in the way materials were collected: for instance specialized firms were hired to deliver clippings from hundreds of American newspapers….<br> <br> Also in 1943 Ropp was moved to London to head the Biuro Prac Kongresowych responsible for planning the peace conference and a new post-war Poland. Still the office grew steadily gradually attracting some of the best minds working for the Polish cause on American soil: from 35 experts in 1943 it employed 51 in 1944.<br> <br> In 1944 at the peak of its activities the center had at its disposal a budget of a million dollars….<br> <br> The year 1945 brought big budget cuts and half of the employees were laid off. The center shared the fate of many other Polish diplomatic posts as the loss of diplomatic recognition of the London government by the Western Allies resulted in the termination of its operations. By decree of Poland's President Wladyslaw Raczkiewicz on July 3 1945 the center was officially shut down†Hoover Institution. <br> <br> OCLC: 37937357. All holdings which could be checked are incomplete; some holdings are for as few as 3 or 4 issues total.<br> <br> All issues have a vertical fold crease; many have light foxing stains or crinkling. Paper remains bright and strong and was clearly stored in dry clean conditions for the past 80 years. Very Good Condition overall. A fascinating nearly consecutive weekly look at official Polish reporting on Nazi atrocities and war crimes in real time over a one-year key period of the Holocaust. B Holo2-163-9-LMM%-’cce.

14 [1st French Edition of One of Mendelssohn's Most Famout Works] Mendelssohn, Moses [Moses Mendels-Sohn] Translated from the Ge
PHÉDON OU ENTRETIENS SUR LA SPIRITUALITÉ ET L’IMMORTALITÉ DE L’AME
Paris et Bayeux chez Saillant et Lepelley 1772. 1st French-language edition. Period full leather binding with gilt spine and red edges with original marbled endpapers 8vo. Includes frontis copperplate etching. XXIV 342 1 pages. “Traduit de l’Allemand par M. Junker de l’Académie des Belles-Lettres de Goettingen.â€<br> This first French edition appeared 5 years after the first German edition of 1767<br> <br> "Phaedon or On the Immortality of the Soul" Phaedon Oder Ueber Die Unsterblichkeit Der Seele In Drey Gespraechen is one of Mendelssohn's 1729-1786 most famous publications establishing his reputation as the "German Socrates of Berlin." It is a philosophical interpretation of the Platonic dialogue "Phaedo" and is preceded by a biography on "The Life and Character of Socrates." The important German-Jewish philosopher was one of the most important representatives of the Enlightenment in Prussia and throughout Germany.<br> <br> Mendelssohn's Phaedon is a “classic of rational psychology on the immortality of the human soul a defining work by this leading enlightenment philosopher who launched the Jewish thinking of the modern age" with his tribute to Socrates modeled on Plato's dialogue the Phaedo.<br> Mendelssohn used Plato's famous dialogue the Phaedo as a model to publish Phädon oder über die Unsterblichkeit der Seele. With this seminal work "he reached the heights of fame" Wigoder Dictionary of Jewish Biography 342. <br> The work unites Mendelssohn's "paean to Socrates with an elaboration of the dreadful personal moral and political implications if a person's life is her 'highest good'… <br> This 'classic of rational psychology' as Dilthey put it also contains an argument for the simplicity and immortality of the human soul explicitly singled out for criticism by Kant in the 2nd edition of the Critique of Pure Reason. Mendelssohn supports the notion that the soul is simple and thus indestructible by noting that certain features of the soul namely the unifying character of consciousness and the identity of self-consciousness cannot be derived from anything composite whether those composite parts be capable or not of thinking… <br> As for the human soul's fate after death Mendelssohn appeals to divine goodness and providence which perhaps explains why following the publication of the Phaedo he finds himself needing to revisit the proofs for God's existence" Stanford Encyclopedia.<br> According to Mendelssohn’s modern biographer Alexander Altmann “The work that would establish Mendelssohn's world-wide renown and win him the title 'the German Socrates' was the dialogue Phaedon which was published in 1767. In this work he presented Socratic wisdom from the mouth of the ancient philosopher but in the language of the Enlightenment that is in his own words as a modern philosopher. <br> The work drew both praise and criticism but was on the whole popular in intellectual circles. It demonstrates Mendelssohn's unique ability as a Jew to be comfortable in the realm of both classical and enlightened philosophy not to mention languages. David Sorkin remarks ‘What is ironic is that Mendelssohn was known and revered as much for the quality of his prose as for his thought.†<br> Mendelssohn was himself often referred to as the German Plato or the German Socrates. <br> And “As a Jew living in Germany Moses Mendelssohn 1729-1786 stands at a pivotal point in the history of Jewish emancipation in Europe. There were Jews before him who had access to the corridors of power in Germany and elsewhere in Europe but Mendelssohn represents the first to be socially accepted to a significant extent within enlightened German culture without converting. <br> He not only conformed to the culture of the German Enlightenment in many ways but also helped shape the culture through his philosophical contributions. At the same time Mendelssohn refused to turn away from traditional Judaism. He attempted to become a full- fledged member of society during the emergence of modern Europe while remaining a proponent of Judaism as a revealed religion. Moreover he sought to use his place of influence to encourage Jewish acculturation in Germany and to speak on behalf of the emancipation of Jewish people…. <br> The traditional mentality of the European Jews prior to Mendelssohn's time included a kind of resignation to the incompatibility of Jewish learning and 'worldly' philosophy. This resignation contributed to Jewish cultural isolation. Alfred Jospe describes the conundrum in which a Jew found himself if he wished to enter the culture of the non-Jewish world: The Jew could gain access to the culture of the world only by rebelling against the traditional repudiation of all mundane wisdom. <br> It is just at this point that Mendelssohn broke the mold. He not only acquired modern German culture but did so by means of his understanding of and contributions to the philosophy that shaped that culture. In his monumental biographical study Alexander Altmann focuses as much on Mendelssohn's philosophy and his answers to contemporary critics as he does on the details of the events and influences of his life. Altmann states with appropriate admiration that “Considering the state of degradation in which the Jewish population lived in eighteenth-century Germany. Mendelssohn's rise to fame and his acceptance into the republic of letters was an amazing feat of personal achievement.†<br> The amazing feature of Mendelssohn's achievement is that he accomplished it as an avowedly traditional Jew. Mendelssohn has been rightly described as a rabbinic scholar but he made his reputation in non-Jewish intellectual circles as a literary critic and philosopher….with the help of both Gotthold Lessing and the Berlin publisher Friedrich Nicolai he was accepted into the inner circle of the Berlin Aufklärung. <br> His essays reviews and translations earned him tremendous status among German intellectuals. <br> The favorable comparison made by Lessing between the quintessential German poet Goethe and Mendelssohn is a mark of the esteem in which he was held. ‘Lessing told Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi that once Goethe regained his reason he would be hardly more than an ordinary man. At the very same time he said of Mendelssohn that he was the most lucid thinker the most excellent philosopher and the best literary critic of the century’" Clark 2005. P. 57-58. <br> OCLC: 19939219. <br> Very light edgewear to front endpapers touch of spotting a gorgeous copy in the original leather binding with tooled gilt spine with raised bands and leather label.

173d Organized Reserve Military Intelligence Group, Office of the Unit Instructor, SS-3 Section
III. PROBLEM. Prepare a plan for the seizure and holding of Bear Mountain Bridge to forestall and prevent its destruction by the Aggressor
New York: 173d Organized Reserve Military Intelligence Group Office of the Unit Instructor SS-3 Section 1949. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Other. Good. Rare--very few of these training problem sheets have survived. Single 8 inch by 10.5 inch mimeographed sheet with text on one side only. This has been folded in half and half again resulting in an approximately 5.25 by 4 inch object when fully folded. This sheet has been fully opened and placed in a clear plastic protective sleeve. On 24 June 1921 the unit was reconstituted as the Headquarters and Headquarters Company HHC 173rd Infantry Brigade and was assigned to the Organized Reserve Corps and the 87th Division. It was reorganized in December 1921 redesignated on 23 March 1925 as the HHC 173rd Brigade and redesignated as HHC 173rd Infantry Brigade on 24 August 1936. During World War II the HHC 173rd Infantry Brigade was designated as the 87th Reconnaissance Troop in February 1942 and activated on 15 December 1942. Though the brigade in name did not exist during the war the redesignation meant that it carried the lineage of the 87th Reconnaissance Troop and when the brigade was reactivated it would include the troop's lineage and campaign streamers. The troop entered combat in 1944 and fought in three European campaigns; central Europe the Rhineland and Ardennes-Alsace operations. After the war the troop reverted to reserve status and was posted at Birmingham Alabama from 1947 until 1951. On 1 December 1951 the troop was inactivated and released from its assignment to the 87th Infantry Division. This is dated April 14 1949. It references FIELD ORDER No. 11. It provides information on Enemy Forces Friendly Forces and Mission before ending with the statement of the PROBLEM. The Map reference s 1:20000 West Point and Vicinity. Reference is made to Field Orders No. 1 - 7 for the disposition of enemy forces. The issue is that the Aggressor forces control the Bear Mountain Bridge and have it prepared for demolition. It controls a key crossing of the Hudson River. Friendly Forces are en route from Buffalo and Albany and require the bridge intact to enable a further advance toward New York City and Bridgeport Connecticut. The defenses available to the Aggressor forces are detailed. The students are directed to "Prepare a plan for the seizure and holding of Bear Mountain Bridge to forestall and prevent its destruction by Aggressor." 173d Organized Reserve Military Intelligence Group, Office of the Unit Instructor, SS-3 Section unknown

Chicago: S. Ettlinger Printing Co 1895. 1st edition. Original green paper wrappers 12mo 56 pages. <br> <br> The author Isaac S. Moses is prominently listed on the title page as Rabbi of Kehilath Anshe Mayriv KAM Chicago's first Synagogue; these were sermons he delivered there.<br> <br> In addition the title page lists S. Ettlinger Printing Co. in Chicago as the publisher though the wrappers list Bloch in New York. This probably means that Bloch bought the printed run or the remains of it or the plates and put their own outer label on and then continued the distribution under their own name. Singerman 4882 simply listing Ettlinger in Chicago as publisher with no mention of Bloch.<br> <br> In his early days in the United States Isaac Moses "was considered a radical Reformer but later he took a more moderate position. In 1884 he introduced his own prayer book Tefillat Yisrael. <br> <br> Moses was a founding member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and a member of the Reform committee charged with compiling an official prayer book. The appearance of the Union Prayer Book in 1894 has been credited to his personal initiative in preparing and circulating a manuscript when the committee's work seemed to be leading nowhere. Moses also published a number of sermons and textbooks for children. His Sabbath School Hymnal first issued in 1894 ran into 14 editions. While in Milwaukee he edited the weekly Der Zeitgeist 1880-82" encyclopedia.com. <br> <br> In one of these sermons Rabbi Moses discusses the evils that occurred in Egypt and then goes on to say "Does not our civilization show the most alarming symptoms of the evils and the diseases of Egypt We have fought for the emancipation of the negro but the enslavement of the masses by our modern indutrial system threatens to become a plague worse than ever befell the birth-place of Moses." <br> <br> Subjects: Jewish sermons American.

1819 : SURVEILLANCE AND SPECTACLE: THE STATE RESPONDS TO PETERLOO
Peterloo 1819. Papers Relative to the Internal State of the Country : Presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of His Royal Highness The Prince Regent November 1819
Ordered by The House of Commons to be Printed 24 November London 1819. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. The Papers Relative to the Internal State of the Country presented to Parliament in November 1819 stands as a chilling artefact of post-Peterloo statecraft. Compiled in the wake of the massacre at St Peter's Field the report gathers magistrates' letters intelligence summaries and official correspondence into a narrative of national emergency. Its tone is one of alarm deliberately so. By framing reformist gatherings as seditious and casting radical publications as incendiary the report sought not only to inform Parliament but to justify a sweeping crackdown on civil liberties. It was the rhetorical scaffolding for the Six Acts passed weeks later which curtailed public assembly expanded search powers and tightened control over the press. Beyond its immediate political function the report marks a turning point in the evolution of state surveillance. It reveals an early architecture of information-gathering: local informants intercepted letters and the monitoring of public meetings. Reformers were not just opposed they were watched catalogued and rhetorically transformed into threats. This bureaucratic gaze once reserved for foreign enemies was now turned inward. The document thus offers a glimpse into the birth of domestic intelligence as a tool of governance where the line between public order and political control began to blur. For modern audiences the report resonates not only as a historical record but as a cautionary tale. Its language urgent moralistic and often theatrical reminds us how easily surveillance can be framed as necessity and how dissent can be rebranded as danger. In the shadow of Peterloo it is less a neutral ledger than a curated performance of state anxiety one that continues to echo in debates about liberty protest and the politics of observation. Bound in modern boards paper covered with a simple printed label. Some foxing throughout. Size: 21 x 33.5 cms. Category: Antiquarian & Rare; Hardback Books; Special Interest. This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK.
