'Jewish Polemic Warfare in pre-Civil War America; illustrated throughout with 260 rare early photographs.'' This is a study of Rabbi Abraham Rice (Reiss), America's first ordained Rabbi. Note: both the book spine and the jacket spine bear the Roman numeral I, but I find to reference anywhere to any other volume or indication that this is part of a larger series -- so no explanation for this numeral.
