Debate Over Jewish Naturalization Bill Sparks Controversy
A London pamphlet attacking a Jewish naturalization bill draws rebuttals from a defender who accuses opponents of disaffection and religious prejudice. The exchange cites Sermons on scriptural traditions, cites Simon Ockley's 1713 account of Barbary Jewry, and mocks the author of the Preface while venturing broader religious tensions in early 18th century Britain.
