Original Wraps. 12mo. 6 pages. 18 cm. First edition. In Danish, with Latin and French. Short 'Epistle to the distinguished merchant and writer Nathanson' written under a pseudonym, pouring scorn on Nathanson for his conservative positions. "Nathanson was editor of the 'Berlingske Tidende' from 1838 to 1858 and from 1865 to 1866. A brief residence in England had developed in him a strong love for constitutional monarchy, and as the editor of the official organ of the Conservative party he fought a sharp polemical warfare against the National Liberals, who often made him the target for wit which not infrequently was poisoned with malice. His clever management of the paper, however, won him the stanch support of his party, and under him the 'Berlingske Tidende' rapidly grew in importance. " - JE 1906. "Mendel Levin Nathanson (1780–1868) , was a "Danish merchant and editor. Born in Altona, Nathanson went to Copenhagen at the age of 12 to join relatives. In 1798 he settled down as a wholesale draper and until 1831 was a prosperous businessman. Later on he wrote works on economics and in 1838 became editor of the Berlingske Tidende, making it the leading newspaper in Denmark. Nathanson was a tireless exponent of the emancipation of Danish Jews. Through his initiative the Jewish Free School for boys was founded in Copenhagen in 1805 and five years later a similar school for girls. He organized the administration of the Jewish community, favoring the religious Reform movement, and had a large share in the Danish government's edict of March 29, 1814 which gave the Jews equal rights. His writings on economics are still studied, especially his historical and statistical presentation of Denmark's administration of public revenues up to 1836. Of special Jewish interest is his history of the Jews in Denmark, Historisk Fremstilling af Jødernes Forhold og Stilling I Danmark (1860) . " - EJ 2008. Subjects: Nathanson, M. L.
