An Answer To a Pamphlet, Entitled Considerations on the Bill to Permit Persons Professing the Jewish Religion to be Naturalized: London, 1753

This pamphlet, published in London in 1753 by H. Cooke, refutes arguments presented in another pamphlet, "Considerations on the Bill to Permit Persons Professing the Jewish Religion to be Naturalized." It critiques the reasoning, factual claims, and biblical interpretations within the original pamphlet, which opposed the Jewish Naturalization Act of 1753. The Act, passed in July 1753 and repealed the following year, granted Jews the right to naturalization through parliamentary application. The pamphlet's context is the widespread opposition to the Act, despite Jewish loyalty to the government during the Jacobite rising of 1745, particularly highlighted by the financial contributions of Sampson Gideon.
