A History of the Establishment and Residence of the Jews in England, with an Enquiry into their Civil Disabilities

This book, published in London in 1830 by Saunders and Benning, provides a detailed history of Jewish settlement in England and a thorough examination of the civil disabilities faced by Jews at the time. The work covers legal restrictions on property ownership, real estate, and employment, including the discriminatory wording in oaths required for civil service, academic degrees, and professional guilds. The book is significant for its in-depth analysis of the legal and social challenges faced by England's Jewish community in the early 19th century. This copy features the bookplate of David James Benjamin, and has some physical imperfections (stains, tears, and worn cardboard binding).
