The Encyclopedia of Talmudic Beauties.

Notes

"It will be an anthology of adages, anecdotes, aphorisms, fables, legends, myths, parables, and so forth, of the ancient Hebrews." Cf. The Index (Toledo and New York), vol. 3 (1872), p. 407. At the time of this announcement, Rabbi Browne served a congregation in Evansville, Ind. His project remained an active one during his relocation to Atlanta, having developed into a two-volume set with some 400 advance subscriptions placed before the project was abandoned by the publisher in mid-production (in 1881?). See Janice Rothschild-Blumberg, "Rabbi Alphabet Browne: The Atlanta Years," Southern Jewish History, vol. 5 (2002), p. 34.
