Narrative of the Proceedings of the Jews in Their Attempt to Establish Their Right to the Elective Franchise in Jamaica. To Which is Added, a Correct Report of the Action Brought by Levi Hyman, Esq. Against Samuel Joseph Geoghegan, Esq., Returning Officer, for Refusing his Vote. In a Series of Letters, From a Gentleman of Kingston, to His Friend Off the Island. Belfast (Ireland): A. MacKay, Jun News-Letter Office printing press, 1823. English.
A composition consisting of a series of letters composed between the years 1820-1821, documenting the attempts of the Jewish community in Jamaica to gain equal rights, and in particular the right to vote. Among others, is mentioned the story of Levi Hyman, a Jew living in Jamaica, who decided to sue in court when he was denied the right to vote in the elections in 1820.
Jewish settlement in Jamaica began in the 16th century, following the expulsion of Jews from Spain. The first Jewish settlers, most of them from Spain and Portugal, practiced their religion in secret. When the island was conquered by the British in 1655, the Jews attained freedom of religion, the right to be involved in commerce, to buy lands and houses, and the Jewish community flourished. However, the Jews did not gain absolute equal rights. They were obliged to pay higher taxes than the rest of the population and did not have the right to vote.
In 1831, following the struggle of the Jewish community for its rights, the Jews attained complete emancipation from the British, about 30 years before the British Jews. As a result, the Jews of Jamaica became involved in local political life. In ca. 1850 Jews had 8 out of 47 seats in the House of Assembly. Later, when the number of Jewish representatives in the House of Assembly grew, Jamaica was the only state where the House of Assembly did not gather on Yom Kippur. VII, 116 pp. 19.5 cm. Good condition. Stains (mainly on first and last leaves). Minor tears and creases. Several detached leaves. Binding slightly damaged, partly detached.

Principios Elementales De Instruccion Religiosa Y Moral, para la enseñanza de la juventud hebrea [principles of religion and moral, for educating Jewish youth]. Imprenta Boliviana por D. Salazar. Caracas, 1845. Spanish.
Translation to Spanish of a study book for Jewish youth, written by S. Cahen and originally published in France. The book is divided into "lessons", each lesson consisting of questions and answers explaining the principles of Judaism and its values. An article dealing with the history of the Jewish people opens the book, written by the translator Angel J. Jesurun. Two handwritten pages (Spanish) are bound at the end of the book. The first is titled "Morning Prayers" and the second - "Evening Prayers".
Even though there is evidence as to Jewish settlement in Caracas (capital of Venezuela) in the 17th century, during the Spanish colonial rule, only very few Jews emigrated to the city, mainly due to fear of the inquisition and the rule prohibiting non-Catholics from settling in the area. In 1819, after the declaration of independence of the Great Columbian Republic (present day Ecuador, Columbia, Venezuela and Panama), Jews were granted freedom of religion and the right to settle in the area. Groups of Jews arrived and settled in Caracas and the Jewish congregation started to establish itself in the city. The study book presented, published in 1845, indicates that a Jewish congregation and Jewish educational institutes were already firmly established in the city. It seems that this is one of the first books published in Caracas concerning the Jewish religion.
XIV, [1], 16-50 pp [book is missing pages at the end. Originally should be, most probably, 16-66 pp]. + [2] handwritten pages. 17.5 cm. Fair condition. Stains, tears. Signature on title page and inscriptions in pen in several places. Restoration with pasted paper throughout the book (on the lower part of all the pages as well as to corners and margins of some of the pages). Dark stain on top of pages throughout the first 15 pages. Cloth binding, stained and worn.
