Clemens, Samuel. Mark Twain's SKETCHES, New and Old. Hartford & Chicago American Publishing Co. 1875. First edition, first issue (with “From 'Hospital Days'” on p. 299, and with p. 119 footnote inadvertently repeated on p. 120), sq. 8vo. Pp. [8], 17-320; frontispiece, illus. In text throughout; a fine bright, attractive copy with only the slightest rubbing at the spine ends. Hospital Days was discovered not to have been written by Clemens, but rather by Jane Stuart Woolsey; some copies, including this, have an inserted notice denying Clemens' authorship of the piece. A curiosity of this book is that on the spine the title is reversed so that it reads “Sketches Old and New.” BAL 3364. At the University of Utah Marriott Library in Special Collections PS1319.A1 1875. Pub. 1875. [Evidently this book is a First edition, but not the first issue as “Hospital Days” is on the Table of Contents page 299, but is not in the book, probably left out in subsequent printings.] This book also has the title on the spine as above, but not the Woolsey article. [This book is in the RARE BOOK section of the Library at Brigham Young University, to be copied.] The article was sent to www by BYU - just one page - [See under Samuel Clemens].

American Jewish Archives. An Inventory to the Louis Wolsey Papers 1866-1948. 2.4. Linear feet. The Louis Wolsey Papers were given to the American Jewish Archives by Rabbi Wolsey in three segments during the years 1947-1952. - Louis Wolsey was born in Midland, Michigan on 8 Jan 1877. He was educated at public schools in Clare (Michigan), Chicago, and Cincinnati, graduating in 1895 from Cincinnati's Hughes High School. Wolsey then entered Hebrew Union College where, in conjunction with the University of Cincinnati, he studied for his bachelor's degree while training for the rabbinate. In 1899 Wolsey received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Cincinnati and, in that same year, received ordination from Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise. Upon ordination, Wolsey became rabbi at Congregation B'nai Israel in Little Rock, Arkansas. He remained there eight years, during which time he served as Chaplain General of the Arkansas State Guard, was a member of the Little Rock Board of Education (1906-1907), and co-foounded Little Rock's Carnegie Library. - . . . . After 1925, Wolsey became actively identified with many national Jewish organizations and movements. . . . In Feb 1942, aat its annual convention in Cincinnati, the CCAR passed a pro-Zionist resolution favoring the establishment of a Jewish army in Palestine. Wolsey, who was committed to Reform principles of Judaism which saw Judaism as a universal religion and not a nationality, was adamantly opposed to "political Zionism" and outraged at this CCAR resolution. Soon after the convention, he, along with sixteen other Reform rabbis, addressed letters to CCAR members concerning the formation of a "non Zionist" association. . . . Beginning in the fall of 1944, however, Wolsey began to experience a sense of alienation from the anti-Zionist movement. He felt that Berger and Wallach ran the ACJ in an "undemocratic fashion" and they they overemphasized ACJ's anti-Zionist aspects rather than its Reform principles. As a result, Wolsey resigned as vice-president in December 1945, and thereafter became totally inactive in the ACJ. . . . . In 1848, upon the creation of the State of Israel, Wolsey formally withdrew as a member of the American Council for Judaism. In a statement released to the press, he called for the dissolution of the Council and pleaded for an effort to heal all wounds in order to strengthen Israel by creating a united spiritual front of American Jews. Woplsey's recognition of the realities of the situation and his willingness to state his changed position in public won him much acclaim. . . . . Rabbi Louis Wolsey died 4 Mar 1953 in Philadelphia. Wolsey had married Florence Helen Weiner in Cleveland and they had had two sons, Jonathan L. and Allon. In Feb 1941, Mrs. Wolsey and Jonathan L. Wolsey died. In 1943, Wolsey md Mrs Helen Frank Myers. Upon his death in 1953, he was survived by his second wife and his remaining son Allon.
