Sheet music for the opera *La Juive* (The Jewess), a grand opera in four acts with music by Jacques Fromental Halévy. Published in New York around 1860. The sheet music is contained in contemporary colored wrappers. This edition is noted as being rare, with only two copies located in Singerman's bibliography (Singerman 1656).

This pamphlet contains the text of Richard Cumberland's comic opera, *The Jew of Mogadore*, as published by D. Longworth in New York in 1808. The opera, set in Mogador (present-day Essaouira, Morocco), likely involves comedic elements related to Jewish characters and life in the area. This edition is an American imprint and shows that the opera was popular enough to be published across the Atlantic.
