Letter from S. Newman to Isaac Leeser Regarding the Publication of his Hebrew Grammar, December 21, 1855

Description

Letter from S. Newman to Isaac Leeser, written in New York City on December 21, 1855. Newman writes that having seen Leeser's favorable reply to Dr. Raphall regarding Newman's Hebrew Grammar, he hopes Leeser will mention the grammar in his periodical. He explains that an excerpt in a circular would encourage subscriptions, and he intends to publish it at 5 despite the fact that 3000 copies sold in England at double the price. He regrets being unable to supply a copy to Leeser at that time, having sold the entire recent edition, except for 6 copies which sold quickly upon arrival in New York. He offers to send a copy of the next edition. The letter includes a wax seal.
