This pamphlet reprints the text of an Act of Parliament passed in 1739 (13 George II, c. 7), which granted naturalization to foreign Protestants settling in British American colonies. Significantly, it included provisions for Jews, offering a path to naturalization without requiring adherence to Christian practices or oaths, a notable step toward religious tolerance in the British colonies. The act aimed to encourage foreign immigration to populate the colonies. This copy is from John Baskett's printing. The pamphlet includes the seal of King George II on the title page.
