Hebrew University Gets Books of Dr. Lesser

The Hebrew University Library has received six boxes containing the collection of the late Dr. Ernst. J. Lesser. This contains a very rich Bismark collection, many books on the history of the 19th century and on the history of the Great War. There are also an important number of valuable works on philosophy and economics, among them being first editions of Kant and Marx and numerous Judaica.

The Library has also received twenty cases of books, a total of about 1,500 volumes, being the library of the late scholar, Charles David Spivak, who died about a year ago in Denver, Colo. The collection has a special value due to the large number of rare works on the history of the Yiddish language, the very rich collection of the works of the new Yiddish writers and many old Hebrew prints.
