"The Hebrew Review." Anthology of articles regarding the start of the Reform Movement. Cincinnati, United States, [1880]
The Hebrew Review. Published by the Rabbinical Literary Association, anthology of articles tracing the path of the Reform Movement in America in 1880. Cincinnati,  Ohio, United States, [1880].
285 pages, 23 cm. First of two volumes. Original binding. 
The volume was published after the establishment of the Rabbinical Literary Association, headed by Max Lilienthal (1815-1882), in the wake of the Reform Convention in 1880, five years after the foundation of Hebrew Union College. The articles discuss the modern Jew's relationship with Judaism, the Talmud, non-Jews, and other practical issues. The association published a quarterly journal,  The Hebrew Review, for two years until the association fell apart upon Lilienthal's death. 
Original binding, light blemish to the spine. Very fine condition.
