An Act to Repeal an Act of the Twenty-Sixth Year of His Majesty's Reign

This pamphlet is the first printing of the Act that repealed Britain's 1753 Jewish Naturalization Act. Published in London by Thomas Baskett in 1754, this Act was a response to widespread public outcry and opposition to the earlier act, which had granted British Jews certain rights. The repeal is a landmark document in Jewish history, highlighting the intense social and political climate surrounding Jewish emancipation in 18th-century Britain. The Act itself declares the 1753 act void, citing the disquiet it caused among the King's subjects.
