Considerations on the bill to permit persons professing the Jewish religion to be naturalized, 1753
|
|
Considerations on the bill to permit persons professing the Jewish religion to be naturalized by Parliament: in several letters from a merchant in
town to his friend in the country: wherein the motives of all parties interested therein are examined; the principles of Christianity, with regard to
the admission of Jews, are fully discussed; and their utility in trade clearly proved: signed Philo-Patriae and sometimes attributed to Edmund Keene,
vii+60p., London, Printed for R. Baldwin, 1753. (Of the many pamphlets published during the period, this is one of only two pamphlets in favor of the
naturalization of Jews. The author, sometimes identified as Edmund Keene, points to other countries who have found it advantageous for trade and the
economy to naturalize Jews. The Jewish naturalization bill of 1753 which allowed Jews to become naturalized was passed in 1753, but after protests was
repealed in 1754. For a continuation of the discussion on this topic, see LLMC 57172.)
