Excerpt from The Claims of the Jews to an Equality of Rights: Illustrated in a Series of Letters to the Editor of the Philadelphia Gazette
The following series of letters, written during the course of last winter, and then published in the Philadelphia Gazette, of which Willis Gaylord Clark, Esq. Is editor, owes its origin chiefly, as is stated in the first number, to a variety of illiberal and at times unfounded remarks which were put in circulation in various forms for some years past, mostly originating how ever in different English Reviews, under the guise of criticisms on various new works. Prominent among these publications stands the London Quarterly Review of January, 1839, as will appear from several extracts subjoined. It is singular enough that an article emanating from this celebrated periodical, which appeared in July, 1828, should have caused me to appear before the public, the second time I ever ventured to offer any thing to the press, with an extended defence of our people and of our religion, which has since given rise to the Jews and Mosaic Law, which was published seven years ago. It is not likely, that the Reviewer ever saw my strictures; but these repeated attacks, proceeding from the organ of one of the great parties of Great Britain, prove to my satisfaction at least, that the same spirit of disinclination (to use a mild term) towards us as a separate religious society does yet prevail with the same activity now as during the ages of persecution. Were it now that the malign influence were to be diffused in England only, it might possibly be advisable not to notice it in this country. But the fact of the very extended circulation of British Reviews through various modes of republication, renders them by no means antagonists who may be safely despised or passed over with silent contempt. I am naturally averse, like most Israel ites, to bring our grievances before the general public, who feel.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, by Isaac Leeser, unpacks the conflict that has existed for centuries between the Jewish people and the Christian world. Leeser was a 19th-century Jewish scholar who wrote a series of public letters in defense of his faith, prompted by an article in the prestigious London Quarterly Review. Those letters have been compiled in this book, in which Leeser rebuts common arguments against the Jewish people, such as accusations of their inferiority and their alleged complicity in Christ's death. Leeser also argues that Jews have a right to equal citizenship in European countries, and that their religious beliefs should be respected. The book provides a valuable historical document of anti-Semitism in the 19th century, as well as a powerful argument for religious tolerance. Leeser's plea for a more just and equitable society is as relevant today as it was when he first wrote these letters. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
