1695ref. 871351695. JUDAICA ALSHEKH Moses. Romemot El. Amsterdam: Printed in the house of David de Castro Tartas published by Eliezer ben Haninah 1695. Small quarto period-style full red morocco gilt elaborately gilt-decorated spine and covers raised bands black morocco spine label; ff. 94. $3500.Second edition the first Amsterdam edition of AlshekhÕs esteemed commentary on the Psalms beautifully bound.Alshekh d. after 1593 rabbi and Bible commentator was born in Adrianople studied in Salonika and then emigrated to Erez Israel settling in Safed where he gained prominence as an halakhic authority a teacher in two talmudic academies and a preacher. He was active in communal affairs and was a member of the rabbinical court of Joseph Caro who ordained him. This is the text that Hayyim Alshekh published in Venice in 1605 claiming that it was his fatherÕs authoritative text and not merely a preliminary draft which had been published a decade earlier in Constantinople under the title Tappuhei Zahav. AlshekhÕs Biblical commentaries which are permeated with religious-ethical and religious-philosophical ideas supported by ample quotations from talmudic and midrashic sources became quite popular and have often been reprinted.With an introduction by the publisher citing Ephraim Luntschitz on the importance of the work and quoting the authorÕs intentions in originally presenting this book to the public. Approbation on last leaf by Moses Judah ben Kalonymus Kohen known as Leib Harif the Ashkenazic Rabbi of Amsterdam. In addition the publisher adds after the first approbation: ÒAlso by the authority and with the permission of the great sage the head of the rabbinical court of the Sephardim our master and teacher Jacob Sasportas who has not however added his signature to the approbation due to a lack of time.Ó The importance of receiving even without an actual signed approbation the blessing or perceived blessing of both the Ashkenazic and Sephardic authorities suggests the sharp divide between the two Amsterdam Jewish communities.

This fourth document is a neater copy of the Feb. 1 1836 document docketed on verso: "copied from J. Clary's statement March 7 1842" and signed by M. Bristol. During the War of 1812 incursions by the British on American soil had resulted in the burning of towns the loss of property and the impoverishment of citizens. On the Niagara frontier this included the village of Buffalo which was nearly burned to the ground on Dec. 30 1813. In a letter written by members of the Committee of Safety and Relief at Canandaigua on Jan. 8 1814 it was reported that "Niagara county and that part of Genesee which lies west of Batavia are completely depopulated. All the settlements in a section of country forty miles square and which contained more than twelve thousand souls are effectually broken up. Our roads are filled with people many of whom have been reduced from a state of competence and good prospects to the last degree of want and sorrow." see: Louis Babcock's book "The War of 1812 on the Niagara Frontier" Buffalo NY: 1927 pp.253-4 These "Niagara sufferers" were among the citizens of several states who petitioned the federal government for redress of losses suffered during the conflict. President Madison and Congress responded by establishing an Office of Claims in 1816 with Richard Bland Lee as its adminstrator "to solicit claims appraise lost property adjudicate cases and award restitution." According to a "Report of the Committee of Claims on the petition of the inhabitants of Niagara county New York sufferers by the enemy during the last war" dated Jan. 15 1821 and submitted to Congress these same "sufferers" in anticipation of federal relief began in 1816 to apply for loans from a newly established bank in the village of Buffalo. These citizens "being at that time in great want of means to rebuild their houses and repair their devastated estates were induced to apply to this bank for loans of money for that purpose and which loans they generally obtained by giving mortgages on their farms accompanied by honorary engagements that they should be repaid out of the moneys received by them under the law for their relief." New York also passed a law on April 15 1815 granting state loans to the sufferers. On Jan. 29 1822 the State of New York passed "An Act Granting relief to the sufferers on the Niagara frontier whose property was destroyed by the enemy during the late war." By this act the state trusting that the U.S. Congress would ultimately repay the sufferers in full for their losses as well as repay the state for their expenditures transferred to the commissioners 'the several debts due to the people of this state for monies loaned to the sufferers. also all monies due to this state on securities taken for the payment of the debt due from the Bank of Niagara. and all interest due on said several debts and on said bills." The commissioners were authorized to extend the term of five years for the debtors to repay their debts and to "take and receive the title to any lands or tenements mortgaged to the people of the state. and it shall be lawful for the commissioners to sell and in their own names convey any lands or tenements which under this act they may acquire." Once the federal monies were received by the state the residual due to the sufferers would be calculated. The commissioners were charged with accounting to the comptroller for the execution of the trust confided to them. Record is found in the New York newspapers of the day of several sales of mortgages taken out by "sufferers" in the years following the conclusion of the War of 1812 and transferred to Thaddeus Joy and Moses Bristol Acting Commissioners. Meanwhile the federal Office of Claims under Richard Lee was closed down for a time while investigations of its awards were carried on. Sectional rivalries also interfered with settlement claims by the federal government for the losses of private citizens. Citizens from the southern states whose slaves had been liberated by British forces had managed to get a proposal for their return or compensation included in the Treaty of Ghent which ended the war. Northern states appealed for some sort of equal calculations for their losses. According to Craig Hollander in his article "The Citizen Complains: Federal Compensation for Property Lost in the War of 1812" Law and History Review Vol. 38 No. 4 Nov. 2020 pp.659-698 the civilian sufferers "deftly created a sense of sectional aggrievement to garner additional support from their Northern colleagues." By as late as 1840 however many of the claims remained unresolved. In a letter to Thaddeus Joy written by Joseph Clary on Dec. 28 1840 Clary remarks that Dr. Moses Bristol "is very anxious to have the old Niagara Sufferers affairs brot to a close. It is now near seventeen years since the law authorizing a transfer of the debts to the sufferers was passed and it would seem very much like a neglect of duty for us to let the matter run this length of time without any effort to close it with the Comptroller." Clary continued to be concerned that Joy and Bristol would not be compensated for their work as commissioners. In Louis Babcock's book on the war he notes that "documents supplying further information on this aspect of the Niagara Sufferer's Claims are lacking so that for the present the matter is left untold."

1863ref. 215941863. Medal of Honor Recipient Moses Veale Signed Civil War muster out roll dated June 8 1863 documents the discharge of 1st Lieutenant Orson Foot of the 60th New York Volunteer Infantry so he could accept a commission as Captain during the opening phase of the Gettysburg campaign. Issued at Aquia Creek Virginia the document bears the signature of Captain Moses Veale as mustering officer a Union officer later awarded the Medal of Honor for extraordinary gallantry during the Civil War. Veale's citation records that during the Battle of Wauhatchie Tennessee he continued directing his men after being struck by four enemy bullets and having his horse shot from under him. The presence of Veale's signature transforms the document from routine military administration into a signed record connected to one of the war's most decorated acts of battlefield courage. At the same time the roll records Foot's discharge to accept promotion during the Gettysburg Campaign. Foot Orson. Civil War muster out roll. Aquia Creek Virginia June 8 1863. One manuscript sheet completed in official Union Army muster format and signed by Captain Moses Veale as mustering officer. The document certifies that the officer "carefully examined this Roll. and mustered the said Orson Foot for discharge; and I hereby honorably discharge him from the service of the United States." It records Foot's enrollment at Ogdensburg New York on September 16 1861 identifies his rank as 1st Lieutenant in the 60th New York Volunteer Infantry and notes in the remarks that he was mustered out "to accept Commission of Captain." The sheet therefore documents the administrative transition by which an officer left one commission to assume another within the wartime command structure. The document's date and place situate it at the evacuation of Aquia Creek Landing one of the Army of the Potomac's principal logistical bases. Established during earlier campaigns in northern Virginia Aquia Creek served as a major supply depot linking Washington with Union forces in the field. As Robert E. Lee advanced north in June 1863 the Union command dismantled and abandoned the installation to support the army's rapid movement toward Pennsylvania. By the very day this roll was issued June 8 Federal forces were evacuating and destroying the depot to prevent its use by Confederate troops. Foot's promotion therefore occurred amid the redeployment that would culminate at the Battle of Gettysburg. Single manuscript sheet measuring approximately 32 x 11 inches when unfolded. Some age toning scattered ink staining and edge wear consistent with large-format wartime administrative documents; overall good condition. A substantial Civil War military document combining Gettysburg campaign context with the signature of Medal of Honor recipient Moses Veale whose later battlefield heroism makes his autograph particularly desirable within Civil War military manuscripts. A substantial Civil War military document produced during the evacuation of Aquia Creek and the opening phase of the Gettysburg campaign. unknown books
1973ref. 605416London: Children of God 1973. Unbound. Very Good. First edition. 24mo. One sheet folded twice. Stains and a few small creases very good. Moses a.k.a. David Berg was the founder and leader of the Children of God cult which at its height of popularity reached tens of thousands of members including River and Joaquin Phoenix and Rose McGowan. In 1976 Berg encouraged followers to use a method of evangelism he termed "Flirty Fishing" which used sexual intimacy to attract men to the cult who would otherwise not be open to it. After ex-members accused the group of decades of abuse a British court found the group to be an authoritarian cult which "engaged in the systematic physical and sexual abuse of children." Berg sent out approximately 3000 "Mo Letters" on various subjects to communicate with his followers. This one addresses the "white devils" and calls on his "Sons of All Colours" for more diversity in carrying on the Revolution for Jesus. Mo Letter No. 105. Children of God unknown books
