A propos de cet article

Folio (12.5 inches). 26 George II, Chapter 26. Caption title, pages 71-72. In the whole volume of: An Abstract of all the Acts Passed in the Sixth Session of the Tenth Parliament of Great Britain, and in the Twenty sixth Year of the Reign of our Most Gracious Sovereign Lord King George the Second. 93 pages + 1 page (Table of Contents). Recent blue paper wrappers, with title block mounted on cover. Spine slightly askew. This volume of Abstracts was published to accompany the Parliamentary Acts for 26 George II (1753). The Abstracts convey the essence of each law, complete with marginal references to the page numbers of the first edition folio printings of the Acts. Of particular interest is the Abstract of the Jewish Naturalization Act, 1753 wherein persons affirming the Jewish religion who had been born outside of England were allowed to be naturalized by Parliament without receiving the sacrament. The legislation was not a general acceptance of Jews into Britain, as naturalization would still require the passage of a Private Act of Parliament, and would be in reach of only the wealthiest of England's Jews. The law also allowed Jews to own land, and was considered by some as a reward to the Jews of London for their loyalty and valuable services to the government during the Jacobite uprising of 1745. The legislation was introduced to Parliament by Lord Halifax and passed rather quickly, but soon aroused a political storm and wave of intense anti-Semitism in London. Activists and anti-Jewish pamphleteers considered the Act to be a serious threat to Christianity in England, and pointed to the New Testament and its passages that implied that Jews must wander the Earth. Newspapers opened their columns to named and anonymous correspondents, and devoted space in editorials to consider the Jewish Question. Dozens of satirical works were published in response to the controversy. Merchants of London forecasted a negative impact to foreign trade as a result of the new law. It was alleged that the Act would reduce the consumption of ham and bacon, and that under it the Jews would become so numerous as to exclude Protestants from all offices, trades, and professions. Wealthy Jews, it was feared, would settle in the country, purchase all the estates, and influence the elections. Jews were insulted and attacked in public, and cries of "No Jews, No Wooden Shoes" echoed in the streets of London. Under intense public pressure, the Act was repealed a few months later that same year after Parliament reconvened at the beginning of the next session. This volume also contains other interesting Abstracts of Acts on a variety of financial, legal, military, gaming, and commercial topics, including An Abstract of an Act for the Better Preventing of Clandestine Marriages (26 George II, Chapter 33) on pages 82-84, which outlined the requirements of a formal ceremony for marriages (but did not extend to marriages of Quakers or persons professing the Jewish religion).…
