1791ref. 43202Philadelphia: Mathew Carey; Carey Stewart and Co. No. 188 Market-street 1791. Original Sewn Binding without outer wrappers or boards 8vo pages 285-344 1-48 1-40 1-48 total 196 pages with different sections correctly paginated for this issue. With Moses Seixas’ famous letter to President George Washington Seixas wrote to President Washington on behalf of the Newport congregation whose home is the Touro Synagogue the oldest synagogue still standing in America. This letter which appears on p 40 of Appendix II and Washington's reply comprise one of the most famous statements on religious freedom of this period. Here published in America’s first literary magazine George Washington’s famous phrase describing a government that "gives to bigotry no sanction and to persecution no assistance" was originally coined by Seixas in this very letter. It is a moving Biblically toned greeting to the president and was repeated by Washington in his reply assuring it a place among the most cherished in the American historical vocabulary. George Washington's visit to Newport Rhode Island August 17-18 1790 ranks among the seminal episodes in the history of American Jewish religious liberty. Washington left Rhode Island off his travel itinerary the previous year in response to the state's failure to ratify the Constitution. By 1790 after becoming the last state to ratify Washington visited Newport along with members of his administration including Thomas Jefferson. Moses Seixas 1744-1809 a Newport merchant warden of Kaal Kadosh Yeshuat Israel Newport Hebrew Congregation and a prominent Mason was one of the civic leaders who met with Washington. Seixas had a long history as a revolutionary patriot: he remained in the city after it was occupied by the British during the war and signed a document during the occupation pledging loyalty to the patriotic cause. Additionally his brother Rabbi Gershon Mendes Seixas minister of New York's Shearith Israel Congregation known as the "patriot rabbi" was one of fourteen clerygymen officiating at Washington's 1789 Presidential inauguration. Finally as a fellow Mason he and Washington would have had a natural connection. Seixas' eloquent message reads in part: "Deprived as we heretofore have been of the invaluable rights of free Citizens we now with a deep sense of gratitude to the Almighty Disposer of all events behold a Government erected by the MAJESTY OF THE PEOPLE – a Government which to bigotry gives no sanction to persecution no assistance – but generously affording to ALL Liberty of conscience and immunities of Citizenship: – deeming every one of whatever Nation tongue or language equal parts of the great governmental Machine: – This so ample and extensive Federal Union whose basis is Philanthropy Mutual confidence and Public Virtue we cannot but acknowledge to be the work of the Great God who ruleth in the Armies of Heaven and among the Inhabitants of the Earth doing whatever seemeth him good." Grounding religious freedom in natural rights and echoing Seixas' words Washington later replied with an echo of Seixas' language regarding religious freedom: "The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States which gives to bigotry no sanction to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support."

1960ref. 2337348New York: The Heritage Press 1960. Large Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 14x10x1. Vertes Marcel. Includes slipcase and Sandglass insert number X:26. Slipcase and spine lightly toned and lightly soiled. 1960 Large Hardcover. xxvii 96 pp. Two-color illustrations by Marcel Vertes. Translated into English verse by C.S. Calverley with an introduction by Moses Hadas. "Publius Vergilius Maro 70-19 B.C. known in English as Virgil was perhaps the single greatest poet of the Roman empire-a friend to the emperor Augustus and the beneficiary of wealthy and powerful patrons. Most famous for his epic of the founding of Rome the Aeneid he wrote two other collections of poems: the Georgics and the Bucolics or Eclogues. The Eclogues were Virgil's first published poems. Ancient sources say that he spent three years composing and revising them at about the age of thirty. Though these poems begin a sequence that continues with the Georgics and culminates in the Aeneid they are no less elegant in style or less profound in insight than the later more extensive works. These intricate and highly polished variations on the idea of the pastoral poem as practiced by earlier Greek poets mix political social historical artistic and moral commentary in musical Latin that exerted a profound influence on subsequent Western poetry.

1786ref. 969Berkeley & Jefferson Counties Virginia now West Virginia: not published 1786 - 1842. Group of ten folio manuscript documents and one partially printed document completed in manuscript involving the real estate transactions of Charles & John Yates in the upper Shenandoah Valley. Approximately 29 pp. in total all docketed. Each exhibits expected wear including original folds with associated splits and separations one document with a small area of archival tissue repair creasing tears small losses occasionally briefly affecting text soiling toning and foxing. Charles Yates 1728 - 1809 emigrated from England in 1748 first to New York and then in 1752 to Fredericksburg Virginia. A prosperous merchant and importer he was also deeply involved in real estate speculation in Berkeley and Jefferson Counties now West Virginia. Advancing in years unmarried and childless he solicited his brother John Orfeur Yates of Liverpool to send one of his sons as heir apparent. Young John Yates 1779 - 1851 then 13 years old arrived in 1792. Educated at the College of New Jersey and William and Mary John with wife Julia took up residence about 1807 at Walnut Grove his uncle's hunting lodge on some 912 acres near Charlestown in Berkeley County. Yates remained in the vicinity until his death. Quoting from Memorials of a Family in England and Virginia AE Terrill 1887 page 337 "As a citizen in his adopted country Mr Yates was active and liberal using his means and his influence in the encouragement of public improvements; more especially the making a better roads the starting of manufactories and establishing the system of free schools." Most if not all of the documents revolve around 2071 acres of land originally granted in 1751 by Thomas Lord Fairfax to Thomas Rutherford. Encompassing what became known as the Flowing Springs tract the collection sheds light on a complicated history beginning with the acquisition in 1786 of 755 acres by Charles Yates via William Orr a proxy from Robert Rutherford who apparently defaulted on a loan. Particularly interesting is a survey with large plat map accomplished in December 1812 involving a division of the lands of John Peyton 1729 - 1804 Peyton a son in law of Robert Rutherford apparently acquired the land in 1795. Additionally the documents contain the signatures of several significant participants in the French and Indian War the American Revolution or the War of 1812 including Thomas Rutherford Philip Pendleton Moses Hunter James Singleton Henry St George Tucker and George Hite. Includes: Berkeley County December 1 1786 Indenture 4 pp Charles Yates & William Orr in which Yates conveys 755 acres to Orr part of a tract of 2071 acres which was the subject of a decree issued at County Court of Frederick "May sessions last" regarding default of Robert Rutherford.
