This pamphlet, published in Cincinnati in 1848 by Robinson & Jones, presents an address by 'An Israelite' (identified as Abraham A.Lindo) to the Christian world. Lindo asserts that Jewish people share the same concerns as Christians regarding attempts to undermine belief in divine revelation. He argues that God's covenant with the Jewish people remains unbroken and that the world owes its civilization to the revelation at Sinai. He further contends that Christianity, while initially a Jewish sect, has become distorted from its original monotheistic roots. This is a first edition.

This 1869 edition of Benjamin Dias Fernandez's "Letters on the Evidences of Christianity" is a significant work within the context of 19th-century American Judaism. Originally written in 1740 and first published serially in Solomon Henry Jackson's "The Jew," the letters were later compiled and published in book form by Isaac Leeser in 1853. This 1869 edition reflects the theological debates between Isaac Mayer Wise's Reform movement and Leeser's Orthodox stance. The book presents a Jewish perspective on refuting Christian arguments for the faith. The book also includes a description of a trial concerning the publication of the book 'Maaseh Taluy- Yeshu Hanotzri' in New York. This trial became a significant public debate between Judaism and Christianity in the United States.

The pamphlet is a first edition, originally bound in printed wrappers.
