summary

A theological defense of Faith “peculiarly calculated to win and arrest our females' attention by elegant imagery and truly delicate portraiture.” An outgrowth of a particular 19th-century partnership in the form of Leeser and Aguilar, two conscientiously Jewish, literary (and unmarried) individuals, each residing in different hemispheres. See L. J. Sussman, Isaac Leeser and the Making of American Judaism (1995), pp.133-34.
