summary
THE FIRST HEBREW BOOK PUBLISHED IN PITTSBURGH. A devastating attack on the state of American Jewish life, satirizing the dramatic changes found among immigrant Jews - apparently all too quick to abandon traditional practices and obsessed with personal material gain. See I. Davidson, Parody in Jewish Literature p. 227, no. 142 (see also pp. 108-9).
pp. 19. Original printed wrappers, stained. 12mo.
