[SOCIAL WELFARE & REFORM] [HENRY STREET SETTLEMENT] [NEWBOLD MORRIS]Biblio.com

Original Calligraphic Tribute to Newbold Morris Signed by Seventy-One Board Members Staff and Residents of the Henry Street Settlement ca 1955

rif. 57805Original illuminated document on parchment; hand-lettered in italic with gilt illuminations at upper left and right margins; signed beneath work by the calligrapher "E. von E." unidentified. With original signatures of 71 board members and staff of the Henry Street Settlement. Mild soil at margins; Near Fine. A handsome hand-lettered tribute to outgoing President of the Board of the Henry Street Settlement Newbold Morris. Morris 1902-1966 was an important figure in Henry Street history assuming the board presidency soon after the reorganization of the Settlement under Director Helen Hall in 1944. Morris also played a prominent role in New York City planning and politics during the Robert Moses era; he was among the more prominent members of the New York Planning Commission; was President of the City Council from 1938 to 1945 and an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor in 1945 and 1949. Later in 1961 Morris achieved some notoriety as the City Parks Commissioner when he rejected the permits of hundreds of folk musicians who had been performing in Washington Square Park sparking the so-called "Beatnik Riot" one of the opening salvos of Sixties countercultural activism. The document is undated but expresses appeciation for Morris's "completion of a decade of service" placing it in the vicinity of 1954-5. Beneath the calligraphic portion the document has been signed by seventy-one individuals including fellow board-members staff and residents. These include a host of prominent mid-century New York figures beginning with Hall herself and including the prominent civic leader Nicholas Kelley; choreographer Alwin Nikolais; economist Mary Keyserling; painter Jack Levine; long-time Henry Street youth worker Ralph Tefferteller and many others. A unique and visually attractive artifact marking the mid-century apex of one of the most successful and long-lived social welfare projects in New York. unknown

FIRST EDITIONS of the other 13 volumes. 170 x 103 mm. 6 3/4 x 4 1/8". 22 volumes bound as 13. Pleasing contemporary calf by Leighton stamp-signed on verso of front flyleaf covers framed with a double blind rule raised bands spine compartments with a single gilt sun tool russet morocco labels lettered in gilt all edges sprinkled. First volume with one plate depicting the brain and one illustration in the text depicting the brains of different animals. Final volume with an ad for the complete series by John W. Parker. A few light scratches scuffs and spots to leather each volume with offset from ribbon page marker other trivial defects but a fine and attractive set--extraordinarily fresh and clean internally in bindings essentially without wear. Containing a rarely seen complete run of 22 separate works in 13 volumes this attractive set represents the joint efforts of a female Victorian polymath and major publisher William Pickering to introduce the general public to a very wide range of subjects partly to contribute to general popular education and partly to alert the public to the need for reform. Caroline Cornwallis 1786-1858 was a writer scholar and feminist activist whose life-long self-directed course of study led her to explore subjects as diverse as mineralogy theology Tuscan law and the Ancient Egyptian language. In 1842 the first work in the "Small Books on Great Subjects" series appeared authored anonymously by Cornwallis she is named only as "A Pariah" and the editorship of the series is credited to "A Few Well-Wishers to Knowledge". Along with initiating and editing the series Cornwallis composed all but four of the books herself the second and third numbers were written by John Barlow #15 by Wilhelm von Humboldt and #16 by David Power. The works cover philosophy psychology chemistry Greek philosophy Christian history and theology biology law grammar geology politics and more and proved to be a great success in Britain and America. Some of the volumes are histories of general interest "A Brief View of Greek Philosophy up to the Age of Pericles" and "Christian Sects in the Nineteenth Century"; others are of significant scientific content "The Connection Between Physiology and Intellectual Philosophy" and "On Man’s Power Over Himself to Prevent or Control Insanity; still others are strongly reformist in thrust "On the Principles of Criminal Law" decrying the harshness of punitive Victorian laws and "On the Philosophy of Ragged Schools" dealing with the pressing issue of educating London's poor. Initially "Small Books on Great Subjects" was published by William Pickering but upon his 1853 bankruptcy John W. Parker took over the series. Stray volumes of this series are readily available but complete sets especially in the condition seen here are much more difficult to find. William Pickering (and John W. Parker and Son) unknown

[Isaac Leeser Helps Publish & Promote A Collection of Reform Sermons in Charleston!] Salomon, Gotthold Translated by Anna MariaBiblio.com

TWELVE SERMONS DELIVERED IN THE NEW TEMPLE OF THE ISRAELITES AT HAMBURGH. TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN BY ANNA MARIA GOLDSMID. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION

1841rif. 43466Charleston S. C.: Levin & Tavel 1841. with no dust jacket. 1st American Edition Original Publisher's Cloth Small 8vo 2 236 pages followed by several unnumbered pages of publisher's advertisements. Singerman 0761 Rosenbach 483. Jacob Rader Marcus the dean of historians of American Jewish history suggests in his work UNITED STATES JEWRY 1776-1985 Detroit 1989 that "The motive that prompted Nathaniel Levin and a Charleston associate to reprint an English translation of the sermons of Gotthold Salomon was apologetic.The book was Twelve Sermons Delivered in the New Temple of the Israelites at Hamburgh. The Hamburg temple in Germany was a liberal Jewish synagog one of the first in Europe. An English translation had been made of the sermons at London in 1839 by Anna Maria Goldsmid the daughter of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid the Anglo-Jewish emancipator and religious liberal. The American reprint appeared two years later. Both editions were intended not only to edify Jews but also to interest and attract non-Jews. It was Levin's hope that these sermons would remove unjust prejudices against the Jew and would present 'the lofty character of the Israelite in its true colors.' A book of this sort would help the Jews put their best foot forward." Interestingly this 1st American edition of Twelve Sermons contains a new preface extolling the religious liberty of America and highlighting the refuge it afforded to the Jews. The new preface is merely signed "L" certainly referring authorship by Isaac Leeser and further supported by the fact that volume is preceded by two pages of advertisements for works by Leeser even though his works had no connection to the Charleston Publisher of this work. That Leeser who would become American Orthodoxy's greatest warrior against the Reform would offer a preface to and advertise his works in a collection of sermons from the breakaway Liberal Hamburg Temple in Germany suggests that he did not yet see the coming threat from the Reform movement. At the time of printing in Charleston Gustavus Poznanski 5 years into his term as rabbi and still somewhat traditional was just starting to make what felt like radical reforms as he "excised the Resurrection of the Dead and abolished the Second day of festivals five years before the same was done at the Breslau conference." America's first Reform import from Germany and it's first synagogue established as Reformed Har Sinai Congregation in Baltimore was still a year away from birth. Indeed the official term "Reform" did even come into use to describe Liberal Judaism except as a general adjective until 1845 even in Germany. Leeser's involvement in this publication merits further study as it is not mentioned in the bibliographies nor in Sussman's comprehensive "Isaac Leeser and the Making of American Judaism." Indeed in the 1840s at the time of this printing "there was a major split in Congregation Beth Elohim which many historians of American Jewish history see as the beginning of the American Reform movement. The conflict began after the introduction of an organ into the synagogue when it was rebuilt following a fire in 1840. The series of conflicts between Reform and Traditionalist elements in Beth Elohim resulted in a complicated dispute between the President who favored Reform and the Board of Trustees which was controlled by the Traditionalists. The President refused to call the Board of Trustees to meet as was required by the synagogue's constitution because he knew they would admit new traditionalist members and obtain control of the congregation. The Board ignored him and met on their own a move which the Reformers challenged in court. The resulting case State v. Ancker has become known as an early example of U. S. Courts refusing to intervene in complex religious questions" Wikipedia. Salomon 1784-1862 was the preacher of the new Reform Hamburg Temple. His "sermons modeled like those of other preachers on Protestant examples were praised by his contemporaries notably H. Heine." Goldsmid 1805-1889 a daughter of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid was a London author poetess translator educator and communal worker JE. Includes bibliographical references. SUBJECTS: Jewish sermons.
