1st Russian Edition. Original wrappers with green and blue printing, 8vo, 241 pages. 22 cm. In Russian. Title translates as, "A Reply to Bernstein: (Anti-Criticism)." Liebman Hersch's copy, with his ownership stamp, "L. Hersch." on the front cover and title page. Karl Johann Kautsky (1854-1938) was a "Czech-Austrian philosopher, journalist, and Marxist theorist. A leading theorist of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and the Second International, Kautsky advocated orthodox Marxism, which emphasized the scientific, materialist, and determinist character of Karl Marx's work. This interpretation dominated European Marxism for two decades, from the death of Friedrich Engels in 1895 to the outbreak of World War I in 1914." Eduard Bernstein (1850-1932) was a "German social democratic Marxist theorist and politician. A member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), Bernstein had held close association to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, but he began to identify what he believed to be errors in Marxist thinking and began to criticize views held by Marxism when he investigated and challenged the Marxist materialist theory of history. He rejected significant parts of Marxist theory that were based upon Hegelian metaphysics and rejected the Hegelian perspective of an immanent economic necessity to socialism. Bernstein was born in Berlin-Kreuzberg to Jewish parents who were active in the Reform Temple on the Johannistrasse whose services were performed on Sunday" (Wikipedia). Liebman Hersh (1882-1955), aka Pesach Liebmann Hersch, "was a professor of demography and statistics at the University of Geneva, and an intellectual of the Jewish Labor Bund, whose pioneering work on Jewish migration achieved international recognition in the period after the First World War. Liebmann Hersch was born in the small Lithuanian town of Pamu?is.Liebmann's father was a maskil and a journalist who published articles in various Hebrew journals, including Ha-Maggid and Ha-Melitz. Liebmann Hersch studied mathematics at the University of Warsaw. Because of his involvement in anti-Czarist political activity Hersch was eventually forced to flee Warsaw. He moved to Geneva in 1904. In 1905 he joined the Jewish socialist party-the General Union of Jewish Workers in Lithuania, Poland and Russia (Yiddish: Algemeyner Yidisher Arbeter Bund), also known as the Jewish Labor Bund, or simply the Bund-that had been founded in 1897. Influenced by the debates within the Bund about the economic and political future of the Jews in Eastern Europe, Hersch pursued research on the causes and characteristics of Jewish emigration.In connection with his Bundist activities, Hersch published articles on political and social issues in the Yiddish, Polish and Russian press, with a focus on emigration and the problems of Jewish nationalism.he wrote his book Immigration to and Emigration from Palestine, published in Warsaw in Yiddish in 1928, and subsequently translated into French. In 1931 Hersch's article "International Migration of the Jews," which became a classic work on the topic, appeared in the collection International Migrations (volume 2), edited by Walter Willcox and Imre Ferenczi, and published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in New York. In the 1930s Hersch's research mainly comprised statistical and quantitative analyses of the conditions under which Jews lived. In 1937 he published a study in Yiddish comparing Jewish and non-Jewish crime in Poland, which appeared in Vilna in 1937. During World War II, Hersch was active on behalf of Jews in Nazi-occupied countries, and those who had taken refuge in Switzerland, and was a representative on the American Jewish Labor Committee. He was also a member of the executive council of the World ORT. In 1954 Hersch was elected as chair of the World Population Conference of the United Nations (the fourth international conference for demography and statistics), held in Rome. At that time he was also president of.

1st edition. Original color-printed paper wrappers with later lamination, 12mo 241 pages. 19cm. In French. Title translates as: "Kosher: Jewish Cuisine, Modern Ghettos." Book was later re-issued under the less controversial title, "The Jews of Poland; Recollections and Recipes." Rebecca Miller discussed the book at length in the Jewish Forward in 2013: "De Pomiane (1875-1964), a physician, was also one of the most famous chefs and cookery writers of his day. Born Eduard Pozerski, he was born into the Polish aristocracy, brought up poor but refined. Both his parents were Polish patriots who fought against Russian domination of their homeland; his mother fled to France with the young Eduard when his father was deported to Siberia for insurrection against the Russians. Coming of age within the close-knit community of Polish exiles in Paris, he was sympathetic to liberal causes and was a proponent of the Dreyfus cause. His ethnographic book about Polish Jewish culture and cooking, written in 1928, was originally entitled 'Cuisine Juive; Ghetto Modernes' ('Jewish Cooking; Modern Ghettos'). It is, perhaps, the weirdest book I have ever read. A tantalizingly vague recipe for Carpe a la Juive ('Take a large, live carp. Kill it.') follows a horrifying description of a pogrom, relayed to de Pomiane by a museum guide who had survived the massacre by hiding under a heap of hay in which his sister suffocated overnight: 'A corpse, belly ripped open, lay with its guts wrapped around its neck.A child wandered aimlessly, haggard, mute, crazed, its body beaten to a pulp.' In de Pomiane's writing, appreciative paragraphs about the accomplishment of certain refined Jews rub shoulders with unwittingly racist pseudo-science. 'I observed as a biologist.wrote as a scientist,' claims de Pomiane, as he cheerfully divides all male Jews into three types: 'The dark-haired Jew, with a long beard and a delicate, aquiline nose. His lips are often thin, his ears lie flat against his head. His eyes are deep, almost mystical. He is less excitable than the others. It could be said that he belongs to an ethnic aristocracy. He has an Egyptian profile.' 'This type is also dark-haired, and much more common. His beard is black, shorter, his eyes are bulging and bloodshot, his nose is squat, his lips are thick and very red.This is the excitable Jewish type. When he laughs, he sniggers. The face, overall, has a cruel and bestial appearance. Certainly this type of Jew would frighten a child in France, even if that child were himself Jewish.' 'A third, and rarer, type is completely red-headed. The beard is shorter and divided in two. He has the same negroid facial characteristics as the preceding type. The lips look even thicker and frame the teeth with two red borders of equal size. Although they are red, the peyes look brown from being rolled, twisted, and curled between fingers that are constantly being licked.' Having provided us with this helpful diagram of Jewish types, he takes us on a tour of Jewish Poland, beginning with Kazimierz, the Jewish Ghetto in Crakow since the Middle Ages: The whole place seems fairly, and in some places, extremely, poverty-stricken. The more so since the population is dirty and strange. In Kazimierz, everyone dresses in black, everyone rushes about in a hurry, they all bustle about irritably, pushing, shouting, arguing. One would think the whole city was in the grip of some nervous disease. De Pomiane believes that these poor, nervous Jews give us a sense of what the tribes of Israel must have been like, 'these people who when settled among us became the educated and refined individuals with whom we are familiar.' So, De Pomiane argues, the less 'Jew-y' the Jews are, the more European, the more refined they are-and hence, it seems, equal to non-Jews. Unfortunately in only a few years there was no refinement that could save a Jew in Poland, or indeed, France: being Jewish was considered a racial fact, not a cultural subtlety. But de Pom.

First edition. Bound in later boards, Folio, various pagination, includes illustrations. 38 cm. In Yiddish. All 52 issues of weekly, London-based, anarchist publication Der Arbayter Fraynd from the year 1911 bound together in cloth. "[Arbayter Fraynd's] founders included social democrats (Marxists), socialists, and anarchists, but by the early 1890s anarchists were the dominant force. They established good working relationships with non-Jewish anarchists both indigenous and emigre, including Charles Mowbray, Peter Kropotkin, Errico Malatesta and Louise Michel. In 1898 the Arbayter Fraynd appointed a German political exile and bookbinder, Rudolf Rocker, to edit the paper. Rocker, brought up in a Catholic orphanage in Mainz, arrived in London in 1895. He soon found out about the sweatshop conditions through his lover, Millie Witkop, a young Ukrainian Jewish immigrant. Rocker learned to read and write Yiddish and dedicated the next period of his life to organising among the immigrant Jews. In 1906, Rocker's Arbayter Fraynd group established the Jubilee Street Club which, in addition to nightly gatherings, held adult education classes inspired by the pedagogy of the Spanish libertarian educationalist, Francisco Ferrer, and ran an anarchist Sunday School for children. The newspaper was printed next door. Between 1898 and 1914 it appeared every week. In 1914 Rocker was interned pending deportation as an 'enemy alien', and in 1916 the government shut down the Arbayter Fraynd among several radical newspapers it suppressed in wartime."

He moved to New York later in 1845, where he spent years as a staunch abolitionist and founded The Independent, a religious anti-slavery weekly newspaper, in 1848. This sermon discusses the recent murder of Lucius P. Osborn by Andrew P. Potter, a "lewd" individual. Potter borrowed a watch from Osborn. Wanting to keep it, he murdered Potter by bashing his skull with a pike pole. Thompson focuses on the thesis that a man corrupted by lewdness is likely to become a criminal who will commit brutal acts. OCLC locates 1 copy in a law library (Yale). Not in McDade.

Piers, 6th Baronet of Tristernagh Abbey, was an Anglo-Irish baronet and a notable rake. His notoriety dates from his 1807 adultery trial involving Elizabeth Georgiana, Lady Cloncurry, the wife of an old school friend (and creditor), Lord Cloncurry. The trial established that Piers had seduced Lady Cloncurry as part of a bet. Lord Cloncurry was awarded the enormous sum of ?20,000 in damages, the largest award granted in a criminal conversation case. The scandal attracted a great deal of attention and secured Piers a footnote in history.

Good. Exhibits wear and slight loss along original fold lines and at some fold intersections. Closed margin tears professionally repaired on verso. Verso repairs to fold separations. Blank on verso. Size 27.25 x 36.25 Inches. This is a 1966 Civic Education Service pictorial map of China, more specifically 'Communist China'. Created just before U.S.-China relations began thawing in the 1970s, the entirety of China is shaded red, the color most associated with Communism. Pictorial vignettes highlight Chinese industry, with particular interest paid to mining and manufacturing. Chinese progress in the realm of nuclear weapons is also prominently noted. An illustration of an atom marks industrial plants suspected of making the plutonium necessary in the development of these weapons, and a mushroom cloud, the most infamous image associated with nuclear weapons, marks the nuclear test site near Lop Nor. Icons of soldiers, situated throughout China and all of the surrounding countries, reinforce the tense military situation in the region. Short texts also explain that Soviet and Chinese forces had clashed along the border separating the two countries, as have Chinese and Indian troops along their mutual border. 'U.S. and other anti-Communist forces', essential to the American policy of 'containment' are stationed in Thailand, South Vietnam, Taiwan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Japan. A text box entitled 'Nation Wrapped in Conflict' provides details for the viewer about the population and geography of China, as well as the economic, military, and diplomatic situation in China.
