Proposals by Mills Day, New-Haven, for publishing by subscription, an edition of the Hebrew Bible, from the text of Van-Der-Hooght
Series: Early American imprints -- no. 19935
Publisher: [s.n.]
Published: 1810
Place of publication: New Haven
Language: eng; heb
Subjects: Publication and distribution; Bible
Notes: Caption title.

"Conditions. ... Subscription papers to be returned to Walter, Austin & Co. booksellers, New-Haven, by the 1st of July. ... New-Haven, March 20, 1810."--p. 5.

Apparently an insufficient number of subscriptions were received to encourage publication. The first Hebrew Bible published in America was issued by Thomas Dobson at Philadelphia in 1814.

Without wrapper, but with a strip of paper attached to reinforce sewing.

Includes blank form for subscribers' names, p. 5-6.

"Liber Genesis," a specimen of Hebrew text, p. [7-8].
