Notes

This ed. retains the "Preface to the Scottish Edition" and "Brownlee’s "Preface" from the New-York, 1842, ed. (JA 0776). The unnumbered page of "Recommendations" precedes the title page in this ed. A perfect copy has a frontispiece of three robed men sitting on ruins that include columns and blocks; one man is reading, perhaps a book of lamentations. The unidentified city is surely Jerusalem and the ruins are of the Second Temple. In this edition, the plate of the Polish rabbi dressed for morning prayers is between pages [366] and 367.
