The (anonymously written) Preface, dated Tishri 5628 – 1867, informs,
»The translation has been executed by an able pen, and may be presented, with confidence, to the English reader. The Hebrew text and punctuation have received a specially careful attention. (…) The Publisher believes that no other work of this description has attained a second edition in so brief a period, and he feels extremely grateful to the Jewish community for the warm encouragement and kindly support which he has already received, with regard to the previous edition of this work.«

Haphtara texts for Genesis are taken from I Sam • I & II Kings • Isaiah • Ezekiel • Hosea • Amos • Obadiah (complete) • Zechariah • Malachi.

The Prayer Book Scripture texts in detail (same in all 5 Vols.):
Pss 19 • 29 • 33 • 34 • 90 to 93 • 95 to 99 • 104 • 113 to 118 • 120 to 136 • 145 to 150 • Prov. 31:10 f • I Chr. 16:8-37 & 29:10-13 • Neh. 9:5-12.

Note: The Publisher‘s name appears also in the Hebrew subtitle, but not with his civil first name „P.“, but with his Hebrew name, יוסף יהושע בר יצחק ואללאינטיין, transcribed Yoseph Yehoshua bar Yitzchak Vallentine, provided Y. Y. Y. (or, Joseph Joshua ben Isaac) and P. Vallentine are one and the same person. Not clear is which "able pen" was responsible for the translation; this question of authorship needs clarification. Further details from expert readers are highly welcome!
The term "Haphtorah" in the title is incorrect, as two contemporary bibliographers, Moritz Steinschneider and Julius Benzian already had noted and provided with a (sic!); it should read "Haphtaroth".
