Mosse of the reissue of 'Tree of Commonwealth', edited by D. M. Brodie, 1949. The Tree of Commonwealth was written in 1509 during the imprisonment of Edmund Dudley, who was soon to be executed owing to the clamour of the landed classes after his period of royal treasurer, wherein he conspicuously mulcted the landed and merchant classes to the benefit of Henry VII. Mosse welcomes the republication of this volume, as it is a great benefit to Tudor studies; his review serves to bring into relief all the failing points of D. M. Brodie's introduction and editing, specifically the claims concerning a new political thought of Dudley. Subjects: Edmund Dudley Tree of Commonwealth Political Philosophy Tudorism.

1935Original printed wrappers. 4to. 11 pages. 30cm. In German. Compact tabloid format internally, with broadsheet printed covers. Title translates as The Curse and Inescapable Destiny of the Jews. Written by Kurt Reiss, under the pseudonym Abraham Cohen. This Antisemitic, millenarian polemic situates itself alongside the numerous Antisemitic conspiracy theories clinging to the fringes of early Nazi propaganda, a kind of millenialist Nazi-Zionism that calls for the Jews to be returned to Palestine to bring about the second coming of Jesus. In this piece, Reiss celebrates Hitler as the latest confirmation that the Jews are the chosen people, and sees Hitler as a guide and shepherd that will prevent the assimilation of the Jewish people and help bring them to Palestine to facilitate the final salvation. Kurt [Reiss] left school at the age of 15 and developed an interest in religion. He believed that the Jews should recognize Jesus Christ as their Messiah. He also attempted to secure patents for mechanical inventions. Kurt convinced the family to emigrate to Canada. According to a family member Kurt suffered from mental illness. He was unable to work and spent his days writing notes about his daily activities and his religious ideas. His sister Lola always took care of him.

Throughout its history the magazine had many renowned contributors, including Wilhelm Busch, Gustav Adolf Closs, Hans Kaufmann, Adolf Oberländer, Franz Graf von Pocci, Moritz von Schwind and Carl Spitzweg and is often noted for its typographic and artistic quality.

He was also director of the central committee of the Jewish Colonization Association from 1899 to 1906. Under his direction a statistical study was carried out on the economic situation of the Jews in Russia (published in Russian in 1904 and in French in 19068) . He was one of the compilers of the Sistematicheskiy ukazatel literatury o yevreyakh na russkom yazyke ('Systematic Guide to Russian Literature About Jews, ' 1892) , and contributed many articles to Voskhod and other periodicals on problems of Jewish education, emigration, and colonization. Active in Jewish political life, Bramson was one of the founders of the 'Jewish Democratic Group. ' In 1906 he was elected to the First Duma as a deputy for Kovno province, joining the Labor faction ('Trudoviki') . During World War I, the Revolution, and the Civil War, Bramson was an organizer of the Central Committee for the Relief of Jewish War Sufferers (YEKOPO) .

An industrialist, he was interested in ORT's agricultural and co-operative projects.
