17 Approbation Letters from prominent Rabbis and Posekim of that generation.
In leaf [2/2], among the letters of Approbation, is a letter on behalf of the Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch, by his son Rebbe Chaim Shneur Zalman of Liadi. In his letter, the Tzemach Tzedek apologizes for not granting an approbation to the present book (in fact, the Tzemach Tzedek did not grant any approbations, except for one, given to "Sefer Or HaGanuz"; see: "Beis Rabbi", 1902, p. 63, footnote IV).
