1837

Written by N.I. Vallentine and translated by H.A. Henry. Hebrew and English on facing pages. Dedicated to Mrs. N.M. de Rothschild, Patroness of the Lying-in Charity. With acknowledgment to “the learned Dr. Hirschell, Chief Rabbi.” Composed in a most attractive Hebrew font.

A rare and most charming little book. “At the present period when the press is loaded with new publications of various descriptions, it is the more requisite that not only an apology be offered for any new one, but a full explanation be given for the nature of the work and the claim which it has to public patronage. …No specified form of thanksgiving is to be found for Ladies going to Synagogue after their accouchment… The necessity of the mother’s thanks for past events and supplications for her future welfare, as well as that of her tender offspring… has induced us to publish this short prayer, hoping it will prove acceptable to the Divine Creator.” (Preface.)
