Manifest issued by Die section X. des nationalausschusses fֳ¼r innere Angelegenheiten - Section no. 5 of the Interior Affairs council, of the Bohemia Province government in the Habsburg Empire. Prague, April 23, 1848. German and Czech. The manifest addresses "brothers and beloved citizens of this country" and conveys an emotional appeal to all of the Bohemian citizens, officials of municipal and rural authorities, holders of religious or educational posts, students and all other sectors of the Christian population, to guard law and order, not cause incitement through written or oral manifests distributed by anonymous factors, and refrain in any place or in any form from persecution of Jews, citizens of the kingdom, refrain from robbing their property or damaging it, attacking Jews or insulting them. All of this is based on liberal motives of equality of all citizens, on Christian moral laws, etc. The manifest ends with the hope that the citizens will obey the emperor's request-order, will preserve peace and order for the good of Christians as well as Jews. Signed (in print) by: Prince Wilhelm Wurmbrand, Prince Rudolf Stadion, and twelve council members. [3] pp, 36 cm. Good condition. Minor stains and creases at edges.
