The Complaint of the Children of Israel: Representing their Grievances under the Penal Laws; and Praying, That if the Tests are Repealed, the Jews may have the Benefit of this Indulgence in common with all other Subjects of England. London, 1736.

Second edition of a pamphlet published in London in 1736. Written under the pseudonym Solomon Abrabanel by William Arnall, a political writer who frequently wrote for Robert Walpole. The pamphlet discusses the history of discrimination against Jews in England, from their expulsion in 1290 to their readmission in 1655. It argues for the equal rights of Jews, emphasizing their contributions to England and the inconsistency of religious discrimination in a nation advocating religious tolerance. The pamphlet is described as being in pristine condition with no soiling, wrinkling, or tears.
