Notes
While traveling in Germany in 1828, Professor Hodge paid a visit to Count Adalbert von der Recke at his institution at Düsselthal for abandoned, orphaned, or poor children. Included in their number are two Jews; the Count, however, has abandoned any realistic expectation for their conversion. His projected colony in the United States for converted Jews, as advanced by the American Society for Meliorating the Condition of the Jews, never materialized (pp. 195-96). See also entry [JA 0345]. A perfect copy has a frontispiece.
