Eulogy on the Life and Character of the Rt. Rev. S. Elliott, D.D., Bishop of Georgia and President of the Georgia Historical Society

Book written by Solomon Cohen and published at the request of the Georgia Historical Society in 1867. It is a eulogy on the life and character of Stephen Elliott, the Episcopal Bishop of Georgia. Elliott led his diocese out of the Union during the Civil War and later reunited it after the war's end. Cohen, a prominent member of Savannah's Jewish community, provides a biography of Elliott and a sketch of his character. Cohen served as the United States Attorney for Georgia in the early 1840s, the Confederate Postmaster for Savannah during the war, and organized a post-war relief fund for Jefferson Davis. He was also an active member of the Jewish community.
