In the 1860s, he took the project up again, issuing a three volume series of his Minhag Amerikathe American Traditionwith the present volume for Yom Kipur (The Day of Atonement), as well as a volume for Rosh HaShanah (the Jewish New year) and a combined Jewish Hymnal and Psalter, all shaped by his view of Reform Judaism in America.

Edition originale. Issu d'une famille de huguenots français réfugiés en Prusse, pasteur, professeur, journaliste, détenteur de la chaire de philosophie puis devenu doyen de l'Académie de Berlin, Johann Heinrich Samuel Formey (1711-1797) occupa une position clef dans l'Europe culturelle de son temps. Spécialiste et introducteur de Christian Wolff en France, défenseur modéré des Lumières, il fournit plusieurs articles à l'Encyclopédie (dont "Dieu") tout en entretenant des rapports parfois difficiles avec Voltaire et les Encyclopédistes. Cet ouvrage contient le recueil de vingt-deux essais philosophiques dont certains avaient paru séparément: la liberté, le sommeil, les songes ("l’un de ses écrits les plus remarquables"), le suicide, l'usure, la matière, le bonheur, les preuves de l'existence de Dieu, "la réformation de la justice", la "physique appliquée à la morale", etc. (Haag, V, p. 144, n° 54. Cf. E. Marcu, 'Un encyclopédiste oublié: J.-H.S. Formey'). Quelques brunissures et petites auréoles éparses. Bon exemplaire, bien relié à l’époque.
