Review Of Literature.
The author , who , in his earlier years , enthusiastically devoted himself in the pursuit of the present inquiry , employed as translators the principal Rabbin ' s ; he frequently has seen three of these learned men at a time , either travelling or domicilated with him , and he estimates his outlay at ten thousand pounds—a large sum to any individual—but to one who , in his enthusiasm , has herein embarked his all , the result has been fatal to his personal convenience . Should a knowledge of these
facts reach the eye of any one disposed to treat with the author in the purchasing , or to aid him in printing the work by subscription , we shall be amply repaid in the endeavour to serve him ; and we are authorised to state , that the necessity for his retiring to Rome , will induce him very thankfully to accept a very moderate remuneration .
Form of Prayer and Thanksgiving to be said by Ladies after their Accouchment . Written by N . J . Vallentine . Translated by H . A . Henry . —It appears that there has not been any form of prayer for Jewish women adapted to the especial circumstances of their restoration to society , a mere ordinary blessing being all that attends their re-appearance in the synagogue . The form before us breathes the true spirit of gratitude in fervour and piety , and will find its way through all classes of those for whose spiritual welfare it has been composed . It is
appropriately dedicated to Mrs . de Rothschild , Patroness of the Lying-in Charity for Jewish Women . Had we room , we would give the entire form , it is so sweet;—ex .: " O , may my soul be inspired with sweet songs , as were those of Meriam and Deborah , the crown and glory of women , to chaunt praises to the Lord of all ! " Deign , I pray thee , to receive my prayer as thou didst those of Hannah in the tabernacle of Shiloh . " The author and translator are worthy of each other .
A Class Book for Jewish Youth . By H . A . Henry , Master of the Jews' Free School . "Train up a child in the way he should go , and when he is old he will not depart from it . "—Proverbs , xx . 6 . Our author has very successfully condensed such a history of the Bible , with general notices of its varied and mighty subjects , as must render it interesting to youth , who are led imperceptibly to indulge in
the purest thoughts , and to partake the grandest conceptions . Mr . Henry , in his dedication to the most charitable lady , and patroness of the poor of all countries ( for Mrs , de Rothschild's charity is limited to neither country nor faith ) has paid due honour , without flattery , to a noble-minded woman ; and , in his preface , his argument is well defined , and clearly elucidated by the work itself . Brother Henry has planted an acorn;—we are mistaken if it does not take root and prove mighty in its time . The Christian and Jewish youth may equally profit by this Class Book .
