"Nuyork vi es Lakht un Veynt, a Roman fun Idishen Leben" [The Crying and Laughing New York, a Novel of Jewish Life], by Moses Seiffert. [New York, late 19th century]. Yiddish.
Novel by the Yiddish playwright, author and translator Moses Seiffert. The novel, published in the Jewish-American weekly "Di Yiddishe Gazetten" (or in the newspaper "Yiddishes Tagblatt"), was never properly published in book form, and the present copy is apparently an edition printed for the newspaper's subscribers only.
Moses Seiffert (1851-1922), one of the most fruitful Yiddish authors of the early 20th century, was born in Ukmergė, Lithuania and brought up in the home of Maskilim. In 1886 he immigrated to New York and tried his hand at writing. Some of the novels he wrote were printed by publishing houses, but most of his work was only printed in the period's newspapers.
Not in NLI. A single copy is listed in OCLC.

208 pp. Approx. 26.5 cm. Thin leaves, dark and brittle. A few detached leaves. Cut margins, with damage to text on several pages. Small tears to leaf margins, ownership stamp on title page and endpaper. Damaged binding.

Anno Primo Annae Reginae / An act to oblige the Jews to maintain and provide for their Protestant children. [London, 1702]. English. Bound in a volume with other Acts of Parliament legislated in Britain in the years 1701-1704.
The act was legislated by the British Parliament in 1702 and it obliges the Jews to continue and support their children if they decided to convert to Protestant Christianity. This act is the first act of the British Parliament related to Jews only (until then Jews were mentioned only in clauses of Acts or in the context of law suits and trials).
This Act was a result of a petition that was submitted to the British Parliament when an eighteen years old girl was disowned and expelled from her home by her Jewish family when she decided to convert to Protestantism. The Act, which, in fact, was designed to facilitate and even to encourage conversion, was passed with almost no objection.
[1] leaf [printed on both sides], in a volume of several hundreds of leaves, 26 cm. Good condition. Stains. Lower margins of the last two leaves are cut (affecting text). Worn binding. Front and back covers are attached to spine with acidic adhesive tape.

Anno Regni Georgii II. Regis Magnae Britanniae, Franciae, & Hiberniae, Vicesimo Sexto / An Act to Permit Persons Professing The Jewish Religion, To Be Naturalized By Parliament. Printed by Thomas Baskett (royal printer), London, 1753. English.
A printed document - the law of naturalization legislated in England in 1753 permitting Jews born out of England to be naturalized with no need for a Christian oath.
In spite of the fact that this law was approved by the Parliament it aroused opposition among the English public and many considered it an insult to Christianity. In view of the extreme controversy, the law was cancelled one year later. The Christian oath as a condition for naturalization was finally cancelled only in 1826.
[6] pp (numbered: [406]-410), 33 cm. Good-fair condition. Transfer of ink between the pages resulted in duplication of part of the text on each page to the facing page (when folded). Dampstains. Small tears and tiny holes at margins of leaves.
