EMANCIPATION OF THE JEWS.
March 1833
William Cobbett
Sir, this is a petition for abolishing Christianity in England.
if the Jews were emancipated? God knows, the Jews make free enough already, and certainly get more money together than any set of Christians.
If this were not enough, a clause was slipped into an Act of Parliament a few years back to enable them to possess freehold property in England. It would not have been passed so quietly, I promise you, if I had been in Parliament
