A second edition was issued in 1858. “The father of Danish homiletics,” Darmstadt-born Abraham Alexander Wolff (1801-91) assumed the office of Chief Rabbi of Denmark in 1829, a position he served until his death, 62 years later.

pp. (12), v-xii, 427, (1) + (8), 141. Worn through use, opening few leaves taped along margins. Contemporary boards, worn, upper cover detached. 8vo.
