(2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

By a strange anomaly this rule did not seem to apply to taverns, infidel meetings or theatrical performances, public vendues and celebrations of French victories or anniversaries.
Now how was all of this tumult and violent outcry met by the Lutheran church and clergy?

Sachse Julius Friedrich was an American antiquary and author.
Background
He was born on November 22, 1842 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The son of Johann Heinrich Friedrich and Julianna Wilhelmina (Bohler) Sachse. His father, a pupil of Thorwaldsen's, was an artist and designer in bronze and other metals.
Education
He attended the old Lutheran Academy. As a scholar he was almost wholly self-trained.
Career
After studies Sachse became a haberdasher and maker of men's shirts. He received several medals for work of his manufacture which he exhibited at fairs in Vienna, Paris, and Philadelphia.
About 1890 he retired from business in order to devote himself to research, writing, and photography. He joined numerous historical societies and was one of the founders, in 1891, of the Pennsylvania-German Society, of which he was treasurer 1891-1913, president 1913-14, and a member of the executive committee until his death. To its Proceedings he contributed eleven monographs and translations.
As a curator of the Grand Lodge of the Free he got access to a large amount of historical material.
He was employed as a photographer by the Ladies' Home Journal and by the publishers of various illustrated books; perhaps his most beautiful work in this field was a series of studies, made in his own hothouse, of the development of the night-blooming Cereus. His various books, which he always issued privately, were lavishly embellished with photographs, zincographic facsimiles, and pen-and-ink drawings, which he made with much skill; and he was more than generous in providing illustrations for his friends' publications.
His collection he later gave to the Seventh Day Baptist Historical Society. The chief literary products of this investigation were The German Pietists of Provincial Pennsylvania 1694-1708 (1895), The German Sectarians of Pennsylvania 1708-1800 (2 vols. , 1899), The Music of the Ephrata Cloister (1903), and Justus Falckner, Mystic and Scholar (1903).
He also published various articles on certain ramifications of the subject and translations of some of his important sources. He was in bad health for some four months before his death, although active until the very end.
