Pe'at HaShulchan, laws pertaining to Eretz Israel, by R. Yisrael of Shklow, disciple of the Vilna Gaon. Safed: Yisrael Bak, 1836. First edition.

The book contains a long and important introduction. The author opens the introduction by describing his trials and tribulations after ascending to Eretz Israel, and afterwards writes extensively of the greatness of his teacher, the Vilna Gaon.

This is one of the first books printed by Yisrael Beck in the Land of Israel. 

The copy before us includes the last leaf of the table of errors which is missing from many of the copies.

One of the last books printed in Safed before the 1837 earthquake (whereafter the author and the printer relocated to Jerusalem, after losing most of their family and property in the quake). The last leaf - "List of errata and corrections" - does not appear in some copies.
