Home Scenes and Heart Studies
First American edition of Grace Aguilar's *Home Scenes and Heart Studies*, a collection of short fiction and midrashim, published by D. Appleton in 1853. This copy, possibly a pre-publication copy, includes a large advertisement by Abraham Hart for soon-to-be-published works by Aguilar and is signed by L.R. Carter, Paris, on December 24, 1852. The book contains 399 pages. Aguilar's work blends fiction with Jewish themes and commentary, reflecting her dual identity and the challenges of being a Jewish woman in Victorian England. Her writing resonated with both Jewish and Christian audiences and was distributed across the British Empire, Europe, and the United States.
