THE RIGHT HON. BENJAMIN SAMUEL PHILLIPS, THE NEW LORD MAYOR OF LONDON, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Right Hon. Benjamin Samuel Phillips, the new Lord Mayor of London, 1865. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Mayall. 'Mr. Phillips...has been a member of the Common Council nearly twenty years, his first appearance there dating as far back as the year 1847, when he was returned as representative of the ward of Farringdon Within. He was at that time thirty-six years of age, and one of the firm of Faudel, Phillips, and Sons, Newgate-street, importers and manufacturers of embroidery and fancy wools, of which firm he is now the head. In his commercial dealings Mr. Phillips had proved himself to be endowed with great common-sense, tact, and judgment, while his business habits and unblemished reputation for integrity, as well as the interest he took in public affairs, recommended him to the confidence of his neighbours as a candidate for their representation in the City councils...Being a member of the Jewish persuasion, and the first Jew admitted into the municipality of London, he will be the second Lord Mayor of that faith, the first being Alderman Salomons. He has more than once shown his practical sympathy with the wants of his brethren, as well as those of every other denomination. He is a member of the Spectacle Makers' Company'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. The Right Hon. Benjamin Samuel Phillips, the new Lord Mayor of London, 1865. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

THE MURDER OF A MISSIONARY BY THE MAORIS IN NEW ZEALAND: CAPTAIN LEVY, MASTER OF THE...ECLIPSE, 1865 CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The murder of a missionary by the Maoris in New Zealand: Captain Levy, master of the...Eclipse, 1865. 'The hideous superstition now prevailing, which takes the name of the "Pai Marire" from the Virgin Mary, of whom they [the Maori] have heard from a French Catholic missionary...is held to sanctify the commission of any crime or offence...Prompted by this deadly fanaticism, the natives...committed a horrible crime at Opotiki...the Maoris, being in irresistible force, ordered Captain [Morris] Levy, with his crew and passengers, to come out of the vessel. As soon as they did so, the Maoris seized Mr. Volkner and Mr. Grace, and began to tie them up...but desisted from this when Captain Levy interfered. The two reverend gentlemen, however, with four sailors, the crew of the schooner, were shut up in a...hut, guarded by twenty Maoris...Captain Levy and Mr. Samuel Levy were not personally molested, because, as the Maoris observed, they were Jews...In the morning Captain Levy and Mr. S. Levy were told that the two missionaries would be shot. Captain Levy in vain remonstrated and begged the Maoris to refrain from this bloody act. In order to purchase the lives of his two passengers, he gave up the vessel and its cargo...to be plundered by the Maoris'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. The murder of a missionary by the Maoris in New Zealand: Captain Levy, master of the...Eclipse, 1865 Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
