An excellent uncut copy in contemporary marbled boards.One of the early American republic's most influential Jews Mordecai Noah 1785-1851 was a journalist editor of New York newspaper The National Advocate publisher of the New York Enquirer and a community activist. He held the position of United States Consul to Tunis in 1816 was the sheriff of New York in 1821 the Surveyor of the Port from 1829-33 and a judge of the Court of General Sessions in 1841. He is perhaps most remembered as the originator of the ambitious though never-realized Ararat Project on Grand Island near Niagara Falls in 1825Ña proposed utopian city of refuge for persecuted European Jews. ""In 1813 Noah became U.S. Consul to Tunis. The government hoped that he would be able to forge special ties with influential Jews in North Africa and entrusted him with an additional secret mission: to devise a 'means for the liberation' of 11 captive American seamen in Algiers. Noah's efforts to free American captives were mostly unsuccessful. Only two seamen were released the ransom paid was excessive and the secret agent Noah appointed Richard R. Keene turned out to have an unsavory past. Although Noah carried out his other consular duties successfully and also established ties with local Tunis Jews Secretary of State James Monroe recalled him in 1815É In the wake of the recall Noah published Correspondence and Documents 1816 in his own defense followed by Travels in England France Spain and the Barbary States 1819 his most important book.

1819Best.-Nr. 50041New York: Kirk and Mercein 1819. Mordecai Noah was an American Jewish Lawyer playwright and diplomat. In 1813 he was appointed consul to Tunis with a special . New York: Kirk and Mercein 1819. Mordecai Noah was an American Jewish Lawyer playwright and diplomat. In 1813 he was appointed consul to Tunis with a special mission to Algiers negotiating for the release of American sailors held prisoner there. The "Travels" referred to in the title were more fraught than they might appear. On his way to his post his ship was seized by the British and he was held in England for two months before being allowed to continue his mission only to be delayed in France and Spain for more than a year. President Monroe revoked his commission in 1815 after he'd succeeded in having twelve American prisoners released. Monroe's motives were never fully explained and they carried a whiff of antisemitism which won Noah favor in certain circles. He became a newspaper editor and made unsuccessful efforts to establish a place of safe haven for oppressed Jews of all nations. He later found success as a playwright and continued his career as a newspaperman. The forty-seven pages of appendices at the end of the volume contain interesting details on the means by which prisoners were freed and such factual information as the particulars of our commerce with Tunis.

1819Best.-Nr. 63295New York: Published by Kirk and Mercein London: by John Miller 1819. A Notable Jewish-American Diplomat Noah was U.S. Consul in Tunis during the Barbary Wars and as such was responsible for freeing American seamen. The present account is based on his experiences while in that office in addition to his travels in Europe. Some time after publishing this work he purchased Grand Island in the Niagara River with the intention of establishing a Jewish refuge which he named Ararat. While a number of men and women arrived in Buffalo in September of 1825 for a celebration of the founding of Ararat the proposed settlement did not attract even a single resident and Noah gave up on the venture within days of the ceremony. Noah was notable as one of the first Jewish Americans to hold an important diplomatic post and was ultimately removed from office for anti-Semitic reasons. This volume prints letters of support from Jefferson Madison and John Adams. The Jefferson letter is particularly famous for its support for fairness to Jewish citizens. Contemporary calf spine ruled in gilt gilt leather label. Binding rubbed and scuffed front board nearly detached holding by upper cord. Frontispiece detached but present closed tear repaired on verso with linen tape. Scattered foxing and staining occasional small marginal tears or flaws not touching text a few leaves and one plate apparently supplied from another copy. A fair copy lacking one plate. SMITH N17.
