An Historical Account of the Ten Tribes Settled Beyond the River Sambatyon in the East

Book by Dr. M. Edrehi, published in London by the author and later by his son in Philadelphia in 1855. This is the first book on Kabbalah published in the USA. It includes a list of American subscribers and details information about Jews in unusual places. The book contains wonderful prints of Isaac and Moses Edrehi, with Moses also serving as British Consul in Jerusalem. Moses ben Isaac Edrehi (c. 1774–c. 1842) was a Moroccan-born cabalist and teacher of modern and Oriental languages. He resided mainly in Amsterdam and England. Edrehi strongly believed in the existence of the Ten Lost Tribes in Western Asia. This edition was set up by his son, Isaac Edrehi.
