Anno Primo Annae Reginae / An act to oblige the Jews to maintain and provide for their Protestant children. [London, 1702]. English.?The Act was legislated by the British Parliament in 1702 and it obliges the Jews to continue and support their children should they decide to convert to Protestant Christianity. It 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), 32 cm. Good condition. Creases.

Anno regni Georgii II. Regis Magnæ Britanniæ, Franciæ, & Hiberniæ, vicesimo septimo… / An Act to repeal an Act… to permit persons professing the Jewish religion to be naturalized. London: Printed by Thomas Baskett, Printer to the King's most Excellent Majesty; and by the Assigns of Robert Baskett, 1753. English.
The act before us, from November 1753, repeals a bill that had been titled the "Jew Bill", which had been enacted several months earlier, in April 1753, and enabled the Jews of Britain to become citizens.
During the years 1740-1753, several bills were enacted which gradually enabled the Jews of Britain to become citizens, to hold positions and become owners of real estate, without being required to take a Christian oath. Until then, their legal status was that of "King's Subjects"; their living in Britain was temporary and they were not considered citizens. The enactment of the bills, which enabled the Jews' naturalization, caused riots in London and elsewhere and the government and the two houses of the parliament withdrew and repealed the act. The Christian oath as a condition for naturalization was eventually cancelled only in 1826.
4pp, 31.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Minor blemishes and small tears in the spine. Not in NLI.

A bill (as amended) to provide for the more complete and effectual liquidation of a debt due to His Majesty from the late Abraham Goldsmid, merchant, and his surviving partners… Ordered by the House of Commons, to be printed, 17 April 1812. English.
In 1810, due to immense financial losses, the merchant Abraham Goldsmid committed suicide, leaving a debt of 467 thousand pounds. The bill before us deals with the liquidation of the debt, to agreements with the many creditors and other matters concerning the company and shares which were owned by Goldsmid.
Abraham Goldsmid (ca. 1756-1810) and his brothers, Asher and Benjamin, were among the first financial brokers of the stock market of London. They were the sons of a prominent merchant from Amsterdam, who emigrated to London in 1763. They were involved in the establishment of the Great Synagogue and the Jewish Hospital of London. Their friendship with the sons of King George III and Lord Horatio Nelson paved the way to the acceptance of Jews to the British society.
23, [1] pp. 32.5 cm. Good condition. A few stains and minor blemishes. A small tear to the margins of the title page (not affecting text). Bound with a string.

An Act to provide for the Relief of Her Majesty's Subjects professing the Jewish Religion. London: George Edward Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1858. English.
A printed document – an act that passed on July 23 1858 exempting the Jews of Britain from the requirement to take a Christian oath of allegiance so as to enable them to hold office in one of the Houses of Parliament. The act empowers either House of Parliament to modify the form of oath and enables Jews to omit the sentence "upon the true Faith of a Christian" from the customary oath.
Three days after the statute had passed, on July 26, 1858, Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild was sworn in and became the First Jewish member of the British Parliament. Rothschild was chosen to the British Parliament several years earlier; yet could not be sworn in due to the requirement to take the Christian oath. On the day of his swearing-in, and subsequent to the act before us, he used the expression "So help me G-d" instead of upon the true Faith of a Christian".
