GOOD (Reading Copy). Israel Abrahams (1858 - 1925) was one of the most distinguished Jewish scholars of his generation. He wrote a number of classics on Judaism, most notably, Jewish Life in the Middle Ages (1896). He was educated at Jews' College and at University College, London. In 1881, he received the degree of MA from the University of London. Abrahams taught secular subjects as well as homiletics at Jews' College. He was a forceful lecturer and an earnest lay preacher. As honorary secretary of the Jewish Historical Society of England and as a member of the Committee for Training Jewish Teachers, he was very active. He was also a member of the Committee of the Anglo-Jewish Association, and of several other institutions of the community. His chief works were Jewish Life in the Middle Ages (1896) and Chapters on Jewish Literature (1898). In 1889, he became joint editor of the Jewish Quarterly Review and helped materially to raise the prestige of the publication. He was a prolific contributor to periodical literature, and was especially well known for his articles on literary subjects, which appeared weekly in the Jewish Chronicle under the title of "Books and Bookmen." In 1902 Abrahams succeeded Solomon Schechter as reader in Talmudics at Cambridge University. In 1914, he published A Companion to the Authorised Prayer Book, a helpful commentary on and supplement to the prayer book edited by Simeon Singer. Singer himself had intended to write such a work, but died before he had progressed very far. In 1922 has was invited to deliver the Schweich Lecture of the British Academy. The lectures were published under the title Campaigns in Palestine from Alexander the Great. No Dust Jacket Hard Cover Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

Ailenroc, M. R. (Cornelia Randolph Murrell)
The White Castle of Louisiana
Publisher: Louisiana Library Association New Orleans, Louisiana, USA 1986
Publisher's full dark blue cloth, gilt lettering and decoration on spine and cover. 8vo. 264 pp. Illustrated with B&W drawings. This is a facsimile edition of the original 1903 edition published by John P. Morton & Co., Louisville, Kentucky. This is an unopened, unmarked copy in perfect, pristine condition. AS NEW. "The White Castle of Louisiana is a collection of letters, storytelling, and personal diary of a woman who grew up at Nottoway Plantation on the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her name was Cornelia Randolph, daughter of the owner of Nottoway, John Randolph, who named the place after his home in Delaware. The present day tour guides of this gorgeous plantation home explain to guests that women of that time could not get published, so Cornelia Randolph Murrell signed her book with her name and initials spelled backwards, M. R. Ailenroc, to appear as a man's name and got her book published in 1903. This book gives the reader firsthand knowledge and insight to the lifestyle of the wealthy, genteel, southern society in the 1800s before and after the Civil War in Louisiana and is written in the vernacular of that time, sometimes flowery, but precise with details about elaborate dresses and clothing of that time. She wrote about her trip to France, school in Yankee country, shopping in New Orleans, her relationship with the slaves, her neighbors, relatives, and her courtship with the man who became her husband. It's a fascinating and informative book." - Antoinette G. Lane Facsimile Edition No Dust Jacket Hard Cover As New 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Facsimile
