We earnestly request our literary friends to sand
us all periodicals or works which they have printed or may issue
hereafter on the Jewish religion. We will gladly reciprocate the favour,
if they will indicate to us how our works can reach them. If it be
desired, we will transmit the cost of their publications, in any manner
or to any address they may desire. Those living on the continent of
Europe can, if they prefer, send any thing intended for us to Mr.
Bossange, bookseller at Paris, under cover of Mr. John Pennington,
bookseller, Philadelphia--who will forward the same to us without fail.
If our friends decline parting with their works on these terms, we at
all events desire them to send us a list of them with the prices
annexed, and to inform us how and where we can procure them. It is our
intention, if encouraged by our friends, to give an account of all
modern Jewish literature; and we trust the authors and publishers will
assist us in this effort.
To the Public.
We have now fairly commenced, our frail bark is
launched upon the waves; we have ardour and buoyancy of disposition;
little difficulties do not startle us; we request, therefore, all those
who may have doubted our ability or willingness to undertake the work,
and who withheld their support on that account, to come forward now and
give us their encouragement. Public favour is the healthful breeze which
is to waft our little vessel along on its tempestuous voyage; and the
aid from above is the anchor upon which we rely to keep it from being
wrecked upon a rocky shore |
