summary

A defense of Faith “peculiarly calculated to win and arrest [our females] attention by elegant imagery and truly delicate portraiture.” An outgrowth of a particularly 19th century partnership in the form of Leeser and Aguilar, two Jewishly conscientious, literary and unmarried individuals residing in two opposing Hemispheres. The first of some dozen publications by Aguilar in America.
