summary

The editor states in the prefatory note: “This publication will… supply a need that is keenly felt throughout the Far East. The Chinese printer who had no type for the vowel points experienced the utmost difficulty in producing the Hebrew part of the service. This will account for its unattractive appearance.”
ff. 1, 14. Trace wormed. Paper-covered boards. 8vo.
