‎KOL YA'AKOV. KOUL JACOB IN DEFENCE OF THE JEWISH RELIGION: CONTAINING THE ARGUMENTS OF THE REV. C.F. FREY ONE OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE LONDON SOCIETY FOR THE CONVERSION OF THE JEWS AND ANSWERS THERETO‎

‎New-York: Re-printed: For John Reid Bookseller 1816. Hardcover. First American edition. Original Boards. 8vo. 79 pages. 23 cm. In English with some Hebrew. Singerman 0260. <br> Copy belonging to Simon Gratz 1773-1839 with his signature and date 1817 the year after publication on the front end paper and on the title page. The signature matches examples of his signature which can be seen online at <br> www.kaplancollection.org/item/deed-simon-gratz-to-james-duncan-and-2b696467<br> The book then bears the donation bookplate of another later "Simon Gratz esq" 1837-1925 who was a prominent 19th-century Philadelphia lawyer educator and civic leader. The bookplate is from Gratz College which the later Simon Gratz helped found. <br> Nikelsburger takes on an apostate Jew Rev. Frey who is intent on converting his former coreligionists to Christianity. In his opening letter to Frey Nikelsburger does not hold back: "In your eagerness to convert the Jews to your way of thinking you make no scruples of converting and perverting the prophets by turning their words to a meaning which you conceive to be best adapted to your purpose; and in doing this you make them not only flatly contradict each other but themselves also." <br> "For American Jews Koul Jacob seemed an appropriate answer to Frey a Jewish convert to Christianity who had resumed his missionary activities shortly after his arrival in America. It was a well-tempered but firm refutation of Frey's arguments. Moreover its author was an English Jew and if American Christians were to take offense at it its European authorship distanced American Jews from it" Berlin G. Defending the Faith. Albany: SUNY 1979.<br> <br> "Simon Gratz 1773-1839 and Hyman Gratz 1776-1857 inherited their father's business. Their store was at the Graff House 7th & Market where Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. Both Simon and Hyman Gratz were treasurers of Mikveh Israel. They were among the founders of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Simon served in the Pennsylvania Volunteers during the war of 1812." www.ushistory.org/mikvehisrael <br> Simon Gratz' sister was Rebecca Gratz 1781-1869 the founder of the first Jewish Sunday school in America and who was also "said to have been the model of Rebecca the daughter of the Jewish merchant Isaac of York who is the heroine in the novel Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. Scott's attention had been drawn to Gratz's character by Washington Irving who was a close friend of the Gratz family" Wikipeida. <br> In addition Simon Gratz was a participant in the famous US Supreme Court real estate case of 1848 Gratz Vs.

Mueller on first leaf dated April 24 1937 from the library of David G. Kohl 1946-2025 former art teacher at the Hong Kong International School musician artist and historian. A remarkable photo album with images shot by three different Lutheran Church Missouri Synod LCMS missionaries in China along with the descriptive contents list compiled by Rev. R.J. Mueller detailing the purpose and composition. He writes that the Enshih Shihnan Mission had prepared three albums “one for the Mission Board one for the Building Committee of General Conference and one at the Enshih Station. The numbers all agree. However not all pictures listed appear in all books.†This “Building Committee†album was intended to focus primary on the structures homes chapels of the mission as well as surrounding areas and was intended to aid in speeding up communications for fundraising and building affairs issues as correspondents could then merely refer to the master list of numbers held by all three parties. Enshih China was one of the final mission stations established by the LCMS far from their other missions and when Gebhardt returned to Enshih following the Civil War in 1928 there was significant damage to the mission structures to be repaired. Looting by bandits and marauding soldiers had caused over $ 2000 in damage but was encouraged to find that the Lutheran evangelist Shen had continued the mission chapel school orphanage. He would later be joined by Mueller and others although primarily composed of Chinese Staff. These photos in the album includes views of Mueller’s residence windows frames and gutters looted; screens torn doors boarded up as well as views of the native house and threshing floor adapted into an orphanage at Yao Wan after 1930. Several others show the extent of the protective walls built around the properties farm houses the gates as well as farms bridges and nearby fields at Enshih. Landmarks such as rocks shaped like Elephants in the river and Big and Little Hog creek below farmland. A very nice series of photos depict the Ts’i Ts-ung-fu funeral the blind deaf and other orphans about 1931 as well as textiles drying in the sun. Other photos capture the Ch’i-li-ping market fortune teller temple noodle stand and the T’ai shan shrine at Ch’i-li-p’ing. More photos depict Hu Ping-chih the orphanage secretary Yuen Ye-chih cashier in 1934 Hsieh T’i-ya seminary student who died later in 1937; along with the mission pulpit nearby streets and the rear view of the Yao Wan houses.Of additional interest are the images of the rugged roads to Liang Shui-chin the temple and steep steps drying opium in Kuan-p’e which was a small town between the East Gate and Yao Wan before opium raising was banned in 1934; along with the nearby Ch’ing-Ching Clear River at the high water stage the front of the True Light Chapel in 1934 as well as the gravestone of Mr. & Mrs. Wang Japanese-Lutherans who had died in 1930. The final photo No. 169 again shows the Clear River below the city. Mueller 1905-1998 graduated from seminary in 1929 and left for China with his wife Dorothy for the Evangelical Lutheran Foreign Mission Board returned briefly to the U.S. from 1937-1940 spent 1939-1942 teaching at a Lutheran seminary in China while being bombed by the Japanese and also served in Shanghai where he would supervise the Lutheran Hour and Lutheran Hour offices. Although he and his wife briefly returned to the United States in 1946 following World War II they subsequently served again in Shanghai China into the early years of Communist rule by Mao tse-tung before returning again to the U.S. See: David Kohl Lutherans on the Yangtze: A Hundred Year History of the Missouri Synod in China 2014 pp. 103 124 131 132 166 174 99-131.

She carried 140 first-class 180 second-class and 300 third-class passengers a total of 620. In December 1902 Ortona was used to return troops to the UK after the end of the Second Boer War. On 8 May 1906 Ortona was sold to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company who used her in a joint operation with the Orient line to Australia. The "All Golds" professional New Zealand Rugby League team travelled on Ortona from Australia to France via Ceylon in August/September 1907. In April 1909 she was transferred to the Royal Mail West Indies service. In 1910 she was sent to the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast for conversion into a 320-capacity cruise ship with a new gross tonnage of 8939. She was renamed RMS Arcadian on 21 September 1910 as the RMSP's liners had names beginning with the letter "A" and was registered at Belfast in September of the following year. She started her first world cruise in January 1912 the largest dedicated cruise ship in the world at that time. She was on the first leg of this voyage that Olave St Claire Soames met Lieutenant General Sir Robert Baden-Powell the founder of the Scout Movement leading to their marriage in October of that year. In February 1915 near the start of the First World War Arcadian was taken up by the Admiralty and converted to an armed merchant cruiser. On 7 April 1915 at Alexandria General Sir Ian Hamilton came aboard and used Arcadian together with the battleship Queen Elizabeth as his headquarters ship during the opening phase of the Gallipoli Campaign. Once Hamilton's staff had transferred to a shore base at Imbros Arcadian was employed as a troop ship in the Mediterranean. On 15 April 1917 Arcadian was en route from Thessaloniki Salonika to Alexandria with a company of 1335 troops and crew and escorted by a Japanese Navy destroyer. Shortly after completing a boat drill while 26 miles north east of the Greek island of Milos Arcadian was hit by a single torpedo from the German submarine SM UC-74 and sank within six minutes with the loss of 279 lives. A contemporary newspaper article described how four of Arcadian's overcrowded lifeboats were successfully lowered before she sank. Some of the dead were cooks and stokers who were working below decks. The escorting destroyer had two torpedoes launched at her while she was attempting to rescue men from the water; survivors reported that she had lowered three of her own boats while going "at full speed". More survivors who had been clinging to a raft were rescued at midnight by the Q-ship HMS Redbreast. Among the dead was the eminent bacteriologist Sir Marc Armand Ruffer who was returning to Alexandria after advising on the control of an epidemic among troops based at Thessaloniki.
