A first work on Judaism by a professional woman writer.
This set was removed from the de Rothschild library at Exbury House, Hampshire. The house was acquired in 1919 by Major Lionel Nathan de Rothschild (1882-1942), the grandson of Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild (1808-1879), British Jewish banker, politician and philanthropist and the first Jewish MP.
Hannah Adams (1755-1831) was an American author of books on comparative religion and early American history. She is believed to have been the first woman in the US to work as a professional writer. 'The History of the Jews' considered to be her most elaborate work. She was a distant cousin to the 2nd US President John Adams.
First British edition; 8vo (215 x 135 mm); contemporary half calf, spine gilt, marbled edges, with bookseller's ticket of A. Berlandino, with some very light foxing to endpapers; viii, 576 pp.
