Encouraging emigration to the United States, with a description of life in America. Dedication in English to the Hon. B. F. Peicotto, Consul General of the United States in Bucharest, stating that the book portrays “the condition of our people in the Danubian principalities. It contains… a precise description of the social industrial affairs in the United States, the geography… political institutions, also an impartial guide for the voyage and travel thither.” This publication was a direct result of the severe outbreaks of anti-Semitism in Rumania.
