Subject: Judaism -- Prayer books and devotions

Elegantly bound edition of "Meditations and Prayers for Every Situation and Occasion in Life," translated and adapted from the French by Hester Rothschild; revised and corrected by Isaac Leeser. Published in 1865. The book features original gold embossed black leather covers and an original brass clasp. A signature of a previous owner, located at 615 North Eight Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is present.

This is an 1886 edition of the Sidur Sefat Emet, daily prayers with English instructions. Published for the Hebrew Free Schools of New York, this edition presents the text as corrected in earlier editions published in Rodelheim. The book contains 293 pages and is bound in contemporary boards. This edition is notable for its use as a textbook in the Hebrew Free School of New York and its inclusion of English instructions, a departure from its original Hebrew-German format. According to OCLC, only one other copy exists, presumably located at JTSAL (likely part of the Karp Collection).
