This 1859 book, published by the Office of the Jewish Messenger, is a translation of D. Rosenberg's French work, with additions and commentary by Max Wolff, minister of the Congregation Chabei Shalom in Boston. It explains an engraving depicting the origin of Hebrew rites and worship, connecting them to natural law and offering insights into Kabbalistic interpretations. The book includes a list of subscribers and a Hebrew poem dedicated to them. This particular copy belonged to David de Sola Pool and shows signs of age, including a loose first signature and some chipping.
