Subject: Occident (Philadelphia, Pa.)

This manuscript is a subscriber list for the *Occident*, a 19th-century Jewish periodical. Although undated, it likely predates July 2, 1843, based on the inclusion of Zalma Rehine of Baltimore, who died on that date. The list includes subscribers from various locations including New York, Philadelphia, Kingston (Jamaica), Richmond, Va., Savannah, St. Thomas, Baltimore, Beaufort, S.C., Charleston, S.C., Montreal, New Orleans, and Liverpool, England, among other cities and towns. The list is written in Isaac Leeser's hand and contains many names of prominent Jewish figures of the time. The manuscript shows some corrections in a different ink, also in Leeser's handwriting. This list does not exactly match the published list in *Occident*, Vol. I, issue 4, July 1843.

The style of the text suggests the typical layout and typography of a 19th-century newspaper. The back of this proof is NOT ENOUGH INFO.
