summary

The great British Jewish financier and philanthropist, Sir Moses Montefiore, was born in Leghorn, Italy on October 28th, 1784 and died at Ramsgate, England, July 25, 1885 just three months shy of his 101st birthday. This pamphlet is evidence of the esteem felt by Jews living as far as America who celebrated with him on the centenary of his birth and who mourned his death just a few months later
