At the beginning of the Siddur, a foreword by the editor signed Amen (initials of נ’פתלי מ’שכיל לא’יתן?) recalling that he had edited the Dinim from the Shulchan Aruch of Rabbi Shneur Zalman relevant to the Siddur "the actual language of the Admor" – as appearing in the Vilna 1884 edition. Bound at its end, Tehillim published in Vilna 1896.
