An expanded form of text originally submitted as a Master?s thesis at the University of South Carolina, this book was published with the assistance of the Central Conference of American Rabbis. Isaac Harby (1788?1828), from Charleston, South Carolina, was a teacher, playwright, literary critic, journalist, newspaper editor, and advocate of reforms in Judaism. His ideas were some of the precedents behind the development of Reform Judaism. This appears to be the only book published by Lucius Clifton Moise (1881-1967), a Sumter, SC music educator. The signature of the book?s owner [N. G. Osteen] appears to be that of Noah Graham Osteen (1843-1936), founder of Sumter, S.C.?s newspaper WATCHMAN AND SOUTHRON [now called ITEM].
