Synopsis

""The Status of the Jews in England: From the Time of the Normans, to the Reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Impartially Considered"" is a historical book written by Charles Egan and published in 1848. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the legal, social, and political status of Jews in England from the Norman conquest in 1066 to the Victorian era. Egan examines the various laws and regulations that affected Jews throughout English history, including their exclusion from certain professions and their forced conversion to Christianity during the Middle Ages. He also discusses the gradual improvement of Jewish rights and freedoms in England, culminating in the passage of the Jewish Disabilities Bill in 1846, which allowed Jews to hold public office and enter universities. Egan's work is notable for its impartiality and attention to detail, and it remains an important resource for scholars of British Jewish history.Comprising Authentic Notices, Deduced From Historical And Legal Records; And Including A Synopsis, With Comments, Of Debates On The Jewish Disabilities Bill.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Jews assert, that a portion of the Jewish people had settled in Britain as early as the first century of the Christian era; that an amicable alliance having existed, in the days of Julius Caesar, between the Hebrews and Romans, To aid each other in their wars with all their hearts, the Jewish warriors accompanied the great Roman Captain in his invasion of Britain, and settled here under the Roman banner. A nd, in support of this allegation, it is further stated that Augustus Caesar set free, without any redemption money, every man and woman of the Jewish race in all the countries of his dominion; to the east, as far as beyond the Indian Sea; and to the west, as far as beyond the British territory, which is the country of A ngleterre, and which is designated England in the Lingua Franca-. The treaty between the Romans and Jews was graven in tables of brass, and sent by the former to Jerusalem, as a memorial of peace and confederacy between the two great nations ;and it is preserved iu the first bonk of Maccabees, chap. viii. t Rabbi D. Ganz s Chronicle, The Branch of David. And in this country, says Margoliout, the Jews record the event annually in their calendar in the following words :A ugustus s Edict in favour oj the Jews in England. C.jE. 15.

As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
