Jonathan's Coffee House was a significant
meeting place in London in the 17th and 18th centuries, famous as the original site of the London Stock Exchange
The Jewish historian Hertz, in this connection, writes the following:
“The promoters of the measure were no doubt influenced partly by Jewish appreciation of citizenship, and partly by their connection with Sampson Gideon, the oracle of Jonathan’s coffeehouse in Exchange Alley, who had raised loans for the government in 1745 and 1749”.
The Naturalization Bill was introduced into the House of Lords by Lord Halifax on April 3, 1753.
