Minor scuffing and staining to boards. Stamps of Rabbi Saul B. Appelbaum on free front endpaper. "There has long been felt the want of a usable beginners' book for those who are to take up the serious study of the Hebrew language in our schools. The old way of plunging immediately into the text of the Hebrew bible, subjects the student to a multitude of embarrassing difficulties that entirely disappear if the subject is approached in some gradual and consecutive order, which is what is attempted in this work." 2 original letters laid-in. One from Rev. WM. H. Alden who was the manager at the Academy Book Room, to Rev. Dr. Henry Berkowitz to review and comment on this work, dated March 23, 1923. The other letter is Rev. Berkowitz's response, dated March 27, 1923. Rev. Berkowitz was a member of the Publication Committee of the Jewish Publication Society of America. Both letters are signed. Letters and book in very good condition. Rare. vg. Item #18320
