1753 GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE October JEWS BILL ANTI-SEMITISM LOUISIANA BOSTON &c

  

They are the people who crucified our blessed Saviour and have, ever since that time, been the most violent persecutors of all those who believe in him and his doctrine: These are the people on whom God has entailed the most dreadful of curses... Let us not so degenerate from our ancestors, as to take these servants into our bosoms; but let us rather exert ourselves as becomes true Christians, and true Britons, to defend our laws, religion, and liberties, from being trampled upon by Jewish or foreign tyranny.... Much anti-semitism in these pages, same old false cry of don't give them what we have, they are so different, they killed Jesus Romans anyone? , just not like us, giving them liberties somehow takes away our liberties, and one and on....

Echoes, sadly, many voices still today. Also, Natural History of Louisiana - rattlesnakes, crocodiles, lizards, birds, crawfish, &c. Microscope Improved, Inflammable Vapor; Boston fire, Susquehanna, &c. Title is disbound, spine rough with some small tears, rather clean internally. The Jewish Naturalisation Act 1753 was an Act of Parliament 26 Geo.

The Parliament of Great Britain, which received royal assent on 7 July 1753 but was repealed in 1754 27 Geo 2, c. 1 due to widespread opposition to its provisions.

During the Jacobite rising of 1745, the Jews had shown particular loyalty to the government. Their chief financier, Sampson Gideon, had strengthened the stock market, and several of the younger members had volunteered in the corps raised to defend London. Possibly as a reward, Henry Pelham in 1753 brought in the Jew Bill of 1753, which allowed Jews to become naturalised by application to Parliament. It passed the Lords without much opposition, but on being brought down to the House of Commons, the Tories made protest against what they deemed an abandonment of Christianity. The Whigs, however, persisted in carrying out at least one part of their general policy of religious toleration, and the bill was passed and received royal assent 26 Geo. The public reacted with an enormous outburst of antisemitism, and the Bill was repealed in the next sitting of Parliament, in 1754.
