The Jewish Naturalization Act in England – London, 1753
Anno Regni Georgii II. Regis Magnae Britanniae, Franciae, & Hiberniae, Vicesimo Sexto / An Act to Permit Persons Professing The Jewish Religion, To Be Naturalized By Parliament. London: Thomas Baskett (Printer to the King), 1753. English.
A printed document – the law of naturalization legislated in England in 1753 permitting Jews born out of England to be naturalized without taking a Christian oath.
In spite of the fact that this law was approved by the Parliament it aroused opposition among the English public, right after the legislation, and many considered it an insult to Christianity. In view of the extreme controversy, the law was revoked one year later. The Christian oath as a condition for naturalization was finally cancelled only in 1826.
[6] pp (numbered: [406]-410), 33 cm. Good condition. Small tears at margins of leaves.
