IT is with a high degree of gratification that I am enabled to intro duce to our religious public a new labourer in the elucidation of our time-honoured faith, in the person of Miss Aguilar, the author of the present publication. This, however, is not her first Work; as about four years since She committed to the press a translation of the Israel Defended, by Don Isaac Orobio, the brave and undaunted champion Of the Mosaic religion. In addition to this, Miss Aguilar has Written several fugitive poetical and prose pieces, few only Of which have reached me.
