The previous owner, Mayer Sulzberger was “closely associated with Isaac Leeser, and assisted that scholar in editing The Occident, contributing to it a partial translation of Maimonides' ‘Moreh Nebukim.’ After Leeser's death Sulzberger edited vol. xxvi. of The Occident.
He was one of the founders of the Young Men's Hebrew Association, which he served as president; and he has taken great interest in the Jewish Hospital of Philadelphia, of which he has been vice-president since 1880. He was from the beginning (in 1888) chairman of the publication committee of the Jewish Publication Society of America; was one of the original trustees of the Baron de Hirsch fund; and interested himself in the establishment of agricultural colonies at Woodbine, N. J., and in Connecticut. Sulzberger had one of the best private libraries in America; it contained a very large number of Hebraica and Judaica” (WIkipedia).
