This is a catalogue of Hebrew books published in Vienna, for sale by Isidor Bush at 411 Grand Street, New York City. Published in 1849, it's notable as the first Jewish bookseller's catalogue published in the USA. Bush, the editor of the short-lived Jewish weekly *Israel's Herald*, is described in the catalogue as the editor of that publication. This catalogue is a significant historical marker in the development of Jewish publishing and bookselling in the United States.
