Twelve Sermons Delivered in the New Temple of the Israelites, at Hamburg

This is the first American edition of Gotthold Salomon's "Twelve Sermons," originally published in London in 1839. Translated from the German by Anna Maria Goldsmid, this edition was published in Charleston, South Carolina by Levin & Tavel in 1841. It includes a new preface emphasizing America's religious freedom and its refuge for Jews, possibly written by Isaac Leeser, and features two pages of advertisements for Leeser's works. The book is significant for its connection to the early development of Reform Judaism in America.
