summary

Rare unbound pamphlet containing propaganda for the colonization of Palestine. Written in form of a parody of the Haggada. Why is the Jewish nation different from all other nations? Castigates people who have Schiller's work in their home but no Hebrew literature. The Maaseh Berez Eliezer is interpreted as chastizing the informers who slandered Eliezer ben Yehudah causing him to be jailed.
pp.32. Original printed wrappers, worn. 8vo
