who have graduated from that institu-
ton, received their instruction from
him. He had not given up his profess
orship until the spring of 1876, when he
was Frustrated by the sickness which
was to take him away from us.
Through his influence with the house Of
Rothschild, Albert Cohn has rendered
great service to literature by encour-
aging the publication of important works
of poor authors The catalogue of the
works which he has helped to publish,
would be too lengthy to be given here;
we will confne ourselves to the mention
of a few of the most important:
The Commentary of Isaiah" by S.
d. Luzatto.
The 'Sepher ha-Rikmah," by Ibn
Gannah.
"Goldenthat' s Arabian Grammar
Jacob Hamburger's Talmudical En-
cyclopadia.
The "Gal-Ed," collection of ancient
inscriptions on the tombstones Of the.
,eemsac1s .AJf 4 i'fisaie fae Which ne has pub
lished entirely at his own expense.
The More Nebuchim, with Munk
French Translation-and many other
works of Importance.
We have reported in a previous chap
ter all the literary and publication socie
ties Of which he was a member, and
whose interests he has promoted.
The reader can obtain a clear idea of
Albert Cohn's love for Jewish scholar
ship and scholars, by perusing the beau
tiful articles he published in 1865, on
occasion of the demise of S d. Luzatto,
and in which he announced that he had
opened a subscription for the publica-
ton of the posthumous works Of that
renowned scholar.
Albert Cohn was. indeed. the Mecenas
of Jewish scholars, and it is they who
feel his loss most deeply.
TO BE CONCLUDED.
The Jewish advance. (Chicago, Ill.) 1878-1881, 1878-11-15
CHICAGO, NOVEM Is. 1878.

He was penetrated with religious senti-
ments, and could not help but put in his
word in behalf of orthodox Judaism
We need not say that the article which
he had published, was perfectly moder-
ate in tenor, and written with dignity
which contrasted strangely with the
choleric outburst of Tarqucm. But at
later period, he had published an article
containing more vivacity. Solomon Munk
has become involved in the struggle
He had endeavored to defend rabbi of
Metz against the assaults of Terquem,
and has himself become the victim of
the sharp-edged pen of that writer.
Seeing his dear friend Solomon Munk
assailed, Albert Cohn hastened to the
rescue He wrote vivacious article in
the Archives Israelite (1S41) against
Tarquem. which caused an end to all
controversies.
The most interesting literary work of
Albert Cohn is. his Jewish Letters"
published in 1864, after the author had
returned from his sirth pilgrimage
Wravels in Moroccol,.-,These.- letters.
1',e author addresses to his son, who
desires 6 to know the result of his trav-
els in the East" But no sooner does he
begin to write than the memories of his
earlier life crowd upon him, and he gives
free vent to his recollection and senti-
ments. He narrates about the works,
troubles and hopes of his earlier days
until he came to Paris. From the time
he arrived in Paris, the history of mod
ern Judaism is developed before him,
and he is drawn into public life. He
leads the reader through Austria, Italy,
Germany, Turkey, Palestine and Africa,
and makes him familiar with every per-
son and circumstance of note, which has
any influence on the development of
Jewish affairs. There is hardly any
book of travels more interesting than
the "Jewish Letters The style is
fluent; the narrative is confined to facts
dotted throughout with brief but bril-
liant reflections on the history and sig
nifcance of Judaism. The warm sent-
ments of the writer, his vivacity and
keenness of observation, the simplicity
and modest Jonhomie of the narrative,
rivet the attention of the reader. And
where he expects it the least, brilliant
play of imagination is unfolded before
him like charming mirage in the atmo-
sphere. 1t is pity that these sketches
have not been continued.
Beside the few literary productions Of
Albert Cohn, the author has made him
self deserving in the cause of learning,
by the active support he has giyen to
such institutions. For a number of
years, he had paid out of his private
funds, the rent of the seminary at Paris,
The means of that institution being
scanty, he has assumed the functions of
professor of Jewish history; and dur
ing a period Of over sixteen years he
has given instruction on that branch of
study, with a regularity and precision SO

In the midst Of his manifold labors,
Albert Cohn has not neglected his
duties toward the science of Judaism
which he had espoused in his youth.
Those who came in contact with him,
could not but notice that he was a
student of Jewish theology, nourished
with the wisdom Of the Bible, before

| whose imagination swayed the images
of the Orient. and whose memory was
full with the "reminiscences OF the rab-
binical literature But his literary pro-
ductons were not many In the year
1896, he published an anonymous article,

a beautiful fantasia on Music by the
Hebrews" Two other letters which
Albert Cohn had published on the ques
ton Of Reform, which has been discussed
during the years 1920 to 1910. deserves
special mention, on account Of the his
torical significance Of the movement.
The regime Of the Restoration" has
reused grave onslaughts against the
clerical profession. By reasons inexpli
cable, the Jews of France were drawn
into the torrent Of the sentiment of the
time.s and edeemed it necessary to raise
also their voices against rabbinism and
the rabbins. The Reform agitation
which was brewing at that time among
the German Israelites, has undoubtedly
contributed great deal towards the
same agitation in France At the head
of the French Jewish liberals was O.
TerQuem, who was known by the uom-
de-pza,nae of Tsarfasi He was remark
able mathematician, and had been for a
long time functionary of the Biblio-
theque de l'Arsenale. He was highly
esteemed by all who knew him, on
account Of his great capacities and no.
bility Of character: and even Albert
Cohn who had written so strongly
against him, said that he was an excel
lent man The intentions of O. Ter
quem may have been good, but when he
took his pen in his hand, he threw off all
shackles and restraint. and smote right
and left without regard of either person
or institution. Brave men were danger
Gus in those times.
Terquem has launched into publicity
his . Letters of a French Israelite to
his Corehgionists,' and they had the
effect of a fire brand applied to mine
of gunpowder Those Letters were
short pamphlets, full of vivacity and of
cutting points. They attacked every
body and everything connected with
the ancient institutions which the Jews
revered. They have produced a great
effect, and called forth multitude of
other productions, which composed quite
a literature on the questions at issue. A
host of writer's were reused against the
assailant, who undisturbedly continued
his assaults single handed at first, and
afterwards with the support of Meyer
Dalmbert.
Albert Cohn, who had arrived in
France about the time the controversy
was raised, was drawn into the whirl.
