Title: Life and Correspondence of Theodore Parker, Minister of the Twenty-eighth Congregational Society, Boston.
Printer/Publisher: D. Appleton
Language: English
Notes: See, principally, vol. 1, pp. 214-15, 236, for Parker’s visit in 1844 to Prague’s Jewish Quarter, a Jewish bookstore, and the old Jewish cemetery. Parker’s letter to Rev. David Wasson, Dec. 12, 1857 (vol. 1, pp. 395-96), magnifies the Jewish inclination toward despotism, cruelty, and lecherousness, their "pretty savage conception of God," and he also lends credibility to the Jewish ritual murder lie ("I doubt not they did sometimes kill a Christian baby at the Passover or the anniversary of Haman’s famous day!").
