Rare. The second Hagadah, with a full Yiddish translation, published in London. Following the publication of the first English translation of the Haggadah in 1770, the publishers realized that the more traditonal, older generation, still needed to be provided with a Yiddish translation. They first met this need in 1774, and re-published it here, in 1778
