Good. <br /> <br /> "Richard Cumberland's play The Jew was the first English play to have an admirable and virtuous Jew for its hero an innovation that Irish and American editions immediately underlined by renaming it The Jew; or the Benevolent Hebrew. The play was exceptionally popular. From the first it was repeatedly performed in London Dublin Philadelphia Baltimore and Boston as well as in Providence Rhode Island Norfolk Virginia and Charleston South Carolina. Within four years of its first printing in 1794 The Jew sold six London editions three Irish editions and three American editions not to mention the German and Dutch translations and it continued to be reprinted in Britain and America throughout the nineteenth century. . . <br /> "As Michael Ragussis observes The Jew 'represented a revolution in the representation of Jewish identity on the English stage.' Imitated by playwrights and novelists alike Cumberland's benevolent Hebrew Sheva became the ancestor of Rebecca in Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe of Daniel in George Eliot's Daniel Deronda and of the Monteverdos father and daughter in Maria Edgeworth's Harrington characters deployed like Sheva to counter anti-Semitic prejudice. On the other side of the Atlantic too as Louis Harap confirms The Jew was one of the most important. . . plays of Jewish interest that was produced on the American stage during the early period one that 'was familiar to practically the entire theater audience' in 'Philadelphia New York Charleston Providence and Charleston.' It was among the relatively few plays selected from the extensive English repertoire for repeated performance in America" online Free Library Cumberland's Benevolent Hebrew in eighteenth-century Britain and America.<br /> Rosenbach 102.

"To the end that sufficient maintenance be provided and allowed for the children of Jewish parents who shall turn Protestants ." The law was enacted in response to the case of Jacob de Mendez Berta who refused to support his 18-year-old daughter Mary after her conversion. The testimony of Mary and her Protestant supporters is recorded in the Journals of the House of Commons after which it was resolved that a bill i.e. the present Act be written to address her case.<br /> <br /> The law remained in effect until the middle of the 19th century though it was enacted expressly for Mary de Mendez Berta's benefit and does not seem to have been enforced thereafter. <br /> <br /> In bound collection of Acts from the reigns of William III years 13 & 14 and Queen Anne years 1-5.
