About This Item
London: Routledge, 1942. 2nd pr.. Hardcover. Very Good/None. Hardcover, blue cloth covers, 622 pages. Clean, bright copy. Notable because of the INSCRIPTION OF FELIX FRANKFURTER on the front fly leaf: "For Stephen S.W. /With the affectionate/ regards of Felix Frankfurter/Rosh Hoshonah/5/04-1943". The recipient, Stephen Samuel Wise (March 17, 1874 – April 19, 1949) was an early 20th-century American Reform rabbi and Zionist leader in the Progressive Era. Joining U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter, and others, Wise laid the groundwork for a democratically elected, nationwide organization of 'ardently Zionist' Jews, 'to represent Jews as a group and not as individuals'.[7] In 1917 he participated in the effort to convince President Woodrow Wilson to approve the Balfour declaration in support of Jewish settlement in Mandate Palestine.[8] In 1918, following national elections, this Jewish community convened the first American Jewish Congress in Philadelphia's historic Independence Hall.
