It was some months after the manuscript of the preceding volume [Luminous Unity...] had gone into the publishers' hands, when, on Saturday, July 26, 1873, I [Rev. Matthew R. Miller] received the Israelite [periodical], of Cincinnati, and found the following: "Rev. Dr. Aaron Guinzburg (Guenzburg) died Saturday last, at his residence in Boston, surrounded by his family and friends. He was truly a good man. In all relations of public life, as a public man, as a rabbi, a father, a spouse, or a neighbor, this one beautiful feature of genuine goodness endeared him to everybody, and makes his loss so much more grievous to all who have known him." ...

I append two notices of his death, from Jewish papers:

From "The Jewish Messenger."

Rev. Dr. A. Guinzberg, for the last few years of Boston, Mass., and lately of Rochester, N. Y., died in the former city on Sunday last, in the sixty-first year of his age. Dr. Guinzburg was a native of Prague, Bohemia, and from his earliest youth dedicated his life to the study of Talmud and Hebrew lore, without neglecting modern sciences. After he had officiated as rabbi and preacher for some years at Libochowitz, Bohemia, he cam to this country in the year 1849, and soon after his arrival received a call as minister of a congregation at Baltimore. He was at one time a professor in the Newton University and Maryland Institute of Baltimore. During the war [Civil War, 1861-65] he changed his residence for Rochester, where he was highly esteemed as a minister. His last years he spent in private, not, however, without taking the liveliest interest in all Jewish affairs; and at the time of his death he was president of the Warren Street Synagogue at Boston. Always alive to the welfare of Judaism, he used his powerful pen against any attack on his religion or nation, and was a diligent contributor to the Jewish press. Many abusers of the Jewish religion have found in him an able opponent, who would never rest when a defense of his principles was thought necessary. He enjoyed the highest esteem of all who knew him, and a large circle of friends lament his early demise. He had also been for many years connected with the Free Masons and Odd-Fellows. Rev. Dr. Huebsch, of this city, officiated at his funeral on Tuesday last. The deceased leaves a wife and nine children.

From "The Hebrew Leader."

ORATION DELIVERED AT THE FUNERAL OF REV. DR. GUINZBURG, ON JULY 22
BY REV. DR. FALK VIDAVER.
"The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found on his lips; he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn away many from iniquity." Malachi ii. 6.
These profound words of the Divine prophet describe vividly the character of our highly revered and esteemed rabbi and godly priest, around whose corpse we are now standing.
...
This rabbi, around whose lifeless body we are standing, was a very spiritual father; he instilled into the hearts of many true belief in God and virtue; he reconciled many with our heavenly Father; he preached the words of God in many congregations and proclaimed the truth publicly. Also her in Boston, in our largest congregation, "Ohabi Shalom," he taught the holy religion and knowledge. Such a dear father cannot be forgotten; his name is engraved in indelible characters upon the hearts of his pupils and friends.
