It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

There is no apology due for writing a book of Travels, but there is for the introduction of subjects, which may be considered as irrelevant to the original object; and, that I may not be charged with an unnecessary detail of my oficial concerns while in the public service abroad, it may be well to explain the causes which induced me to send this book into the world.

Excerpt from Gleanings From a Gathered Harvest
It has been frequently asked, What is the cause of the increase of pauperism in our cities? How is it that our poor houses are not only crowded with age and decay, but even with youthful mendicity? How is it that so many young persons become inmates of these institutions, who might be creditably and profitably employed And above all, to what causes are we to attribute that increase of depravity, sensuality and crime, which is so awfully apparent These are serious ques tions which it is becoming seriously to ask our selves.

A Literary Autobiography Of Mordecai Manuel Noah; Issue 6 Of Publications Of The American Jewish Historical Society

Mordecai Manuel Noah was an American lawyer, playwright, and journalist. He was the most important Jewish lay leader in New York in the early 19th century.
Background
Mordecai Manuel Noah was born on July 19, 1785 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. His father, Manuel M. Noah, a Jewish patriot of Charleston, South Carolina, is said to have served with General Marion and to have contributed a considerable sum to the Revolutionary cause. His mother, Zipporah Phillips Noah, was the daughter of Robert Phillips, a Jewish merchant of Philadelphia. Noah's early youth was spent in Charleston, South Carolina. At the age of ten, after the death of his mother, he was sent to live with his maternal grandfather in Philadelphia.
Education
Mordecai had a short period at school in Philadelphia and a brief apprenticeship to a carver and gilder.
Career
Noah was appointd a clerk in the auditor's office of the United States Treasury. Upon the removal of the national capital to Washington in 1800, Noah became a reporter at the sessions of the Pennsylvania legislature at Harrisburg, where he acquired his first experience in journalism, a profession which he was to follow, with few interruptions, for the rest of his life.
In early manhood Noah returned to Charleston, where he engaged in politics.
He had become interested in the theatre in Philadelphia, had published a play, and in 1812 wrote a melodrama, Paul and Alexis, adapted from Le Pélerin blanc (1802) of Pixerécourt. This, his first acted play, was afterward produced under the title The Wandering Boys.
In April 1813 Noah was appointed consul to Tunis, with a special mission to Algiers. He was instructed to negotiate for the release of some Americans held as prisoners by the Algerine pirates.
On May 23, 1813, he sailed from Charleston, but his vessel being captured by the British, he was taken to England and detained two months. In October he arrived in Cadiz, where he contracted with Richard R. Keene, an American who had become a Spanish subject, to effect the release of the twelve Americans held for ransom by the Algerines. After being delayed in France and Spain for more than a year, Noah finally arrived in Tunis.
On July 30, 1815, he received a letter from James Monroe, secretary of state, revoking his commission and hinting at irregularities in his accounts. Monroe's treatment of Noah was never satisfactorily explained, though his association with Keene, who had been accused of treason, was doubtless detrimental to his prestige. In January 1817, however, Noah received a letter from the Department of State which vindicated his conduct and returned several thousand dollars due him in the enterprise which resulted in the release of the American captives. He wrote a defense of his actions, published as Correspondence and Documents Relative to the Attempt to Negotiate for the Release of the American Captives at Algiers (1816), the substance of which was embodied in his Travels in England, France, Spain, and the Barbary States (1819).
Returning to America in 1816, Noah entered the field of journalism in New York City. In 1817 he became editor of the National Advocate, a daily journal founded by the Tammany faction of the Democratic party. During this period of editorship which continued for almost ten years, Noah engaged in a project which he had cherished for many years.
In 1825, with imposing ceremonies, he laid the corner-stone of "Ararat, a City of Refuge" which he hoped to establish on Grand Island in the Niagara River. Though the project came to naught, it affords an interesting commentary upon an otherwise practical mind.
Shortly upon his return to America Noah's patriotic impulses sought dramatic expression. His play, She Would be a Soldier (1819), based upon the battle of Chippewa, held the stage for many years. The Siege of Tripoli, first produced in 1820, later played in Philadelphia under the title Yuseff Caramalli, has not been preserved. Marion, or the Hero of Lake George, performed in 1821, a drama of the Revolution, uses the battle of Saratoga for background. His last play, The Grecian Captive (1822), though an adaptation from a French melodrama, is charged with patriotic sentiments.
In 1822 Noah was appointed sheriff of New York, an office which he held for less than a year, and, in 1823, he was admitted to the New York bar.
In 1826 he left the National Advocate and established the New York Enquirer, which, in 1829, was merged with the Morning Courier under the title Morning Courier and New York Enquirer, a paper which supported Jackson's first administration. In 1829 President Jackson appointed Noah surveyor of the Port of New York, but in 1833 Noah resigned this office, and the following year he founded the Evening Star to support the new Whig party. In 1841 Governor Seward appointed him associate judge of the New York court of sessions, an office which he resigned the following year.
He then became successively editor of the Union, and Noah's Times and Weekly Messenger. The last-named paper he edited to the end of his life. Gleanings from a Gathered Harvest (1845) is a collection of his newspaper essays.

Politics
An ardent patriot, Noah advocated war with Great Britain and the maintenance of American rights on the high seas; many of his vigorous communications to the Charleston press bore the signature "Muley Malack. "
Views
Always strongly attached to his own people, Noah desired to establish in America a colony for the oppressed Jews of all nations.
Connections
In 1826 Noah married Rebecca Esther Jackson, by whom he had six sons and one daughter.
