Notes
Vol. [1]. Daily Prayers. 2. Prayers for the Day of Atonement. The Order of Prayer for Divine Service is undated (only the original 1860 copyright date is given), whereas the surrounding sections in vol. 1, a composite volume as issued, are dated (see below). The section in vol. 1, Hymns, for Divine Service in the Temple Emanu-El, has imprint: N[ew] Y[ork]: M. Thalmessinger & Co., Stationers and Printers, and is copyright 1871. The Hymns section (German and English on facing pages) normally has 71, [1] p. (37 numbered hymns); the copy held by NRU, however, has 67 p. (33 numbered hymns). The Order of Prayer in the House of Mourners section (17 p.) has an 1869 imprint date; the AJHS copy, however, has the Order of Prayer in the House of Mourners section with 1871 as the imprint date. It remains to be determined whether or not this is an artificial set.
