Critique of "A Reader and Preacher Indeed" in the Occident

Description

Letter from S. J. to Isaac Leeser, written in New York City and received in Philadelphia, PA. The letter is a critique of another letter published in *The Occident*, written by someone identified as "A Reader and Preacher indeed". S.J. challenges the accuracy of several Hebrew quotations and translations cited by "A Reader and Preacher indeed," arguing that they misrepresent the source texts. S.J. examines several editions of the cited text, *Oracle Hayim*, to show the inaccuracies, and questions why "A Reader and Preacher indeed" would publish falsehoods.
