Memoirs of Moses Mendelsohn, the Jewish Philosopher; including the celebrated correspondence, On the Christian Religion, with J. C. Lavater, Minister of Zurich. First edition of this influential biography, the first book written in English on the German-Jewish philosopher. The author, Moses Samuel (1795-1860), was among Mendelssohn's most fervent admirers, and the Memoirs helped shape the contemporary perception of Mendelssohn as a role model for the peaceful integration of Jews into modern European society.
