Excerpt from Discourses, Vol. 3: Argumentative and Devotional, on the Subject of the Jewish Religion Delivered Chiefly at the Synagogue Mikveh Israel, in Philadelphia, in the Years 5598 5601 In Germany, principally I believe in the larger cities, for in stance Hamburg, Berlin, Glogau, Prague, Frankford, Munich, and no doubt other places, Rabbins and lecturers have been appointed chiefly with the view of delivering weekly or occasional sermons; and of these, the fame of Bernays, Salomon, Kley, Plessner, Sachs, and others, has reached us even at this distance; and lately Miss Goldsmith, of London, has rendered a service to our literature by translating twelve sermons of Dr. Salomon into English, although it must be remarked that occasionally this learned preacher endeavours to force his own peculiar views rather too glaringly upon our atten tion. But it is to be expected that, as with every thing else, there Will be a difference of opinion among the honestly thinking in mat ters of religion likewise, the more so since of late certain persons calling themselves reformers have endeavoured to introduce changes in our mode of worship. Now Dr. S. Is the principal organ of this portion, a small one indeed thus far, and hence we cannot be sur prised that we cannot always approve altogether of his ideas or of the manner in which they are presented to us; though to do him justice his style is very beautiful and fascinating, and his advice generally wholesome and pious. It is to be regretted that as yet the works of our other preachers have not obtained currency among the English-speaking Jews: still we may indulge the hope that by degrees such a taste may be awakened among them, that they will desire to possess these books, when the demand will no doubt be answered by some one capable of executing the task.
