With: Laws made and passed by the General Assembly of the State of Maryland at the Session begun and held at the City of Annapolis on Monday the Twenty-sixth Day of December 1825 which includes the enactment of the Jew Bill on page 21. 2 vols. 8vo. Although Article VI of the Constitution of the United States declares that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States" at the federal level many states continued to prevent Jews Catholics and Quakers from occupying public offices. Beginning as early as 1797 Jewish citizens of Maryland led by Jewish leaders Solomon Etting and Jacob Cohen had regularly but unsuccessfully petitioned the legislature for equal status. The "Jew Bill" as it came to be known was defeated in 1802 1804 1819 and 1823. In 1824 led by Irish Catholic Thomas Kennedy and with a Democrat majority in the legislature the Jew Bill was once again brought before the legislature passing at the beginning of 1826. <br /> <br /> The present volumes recording the laws passed by the General Assembly at those sessions include both the proposed law - that "every citizen of this state professing the Jewish religion . appointed to any office of public trust shall make and subscribe a declaration of his belief in a future state of rewards and punishments in the stead of the declaration now required." - and the final vote of passage on January 5 1826 ensuring to Jews the same rights and privileges as Christians in the state. <br /> <br /> An important record of a seminal moment in Jewish American history.

28791Philadelphia: C. Sherman 5606 1845 5606. First edition first printing; there was a second printing dated 1846. Singerman Judaica Americana 881; not found in Rosenbach. Wrappers slightly worn; fine copy. 12mo original plan tan wrappers 11 pages. A seminal document of the American Jewish Publication Society a pioneering organization dedicated to the advancement of Jewish culture and religion in America founded in Philadelphia in 1845 by educator and writer Isaac Lesser 1806-1868 "the foremost champion of Jewish tradition in America" - DAB. The introduction states: "The subscribers deeply impressed with the necessity of fostering Jewish Literature and of diffusing the utmost possible knowledge among all classes of Israelites of the tenets of their religion and the history of their people; and feeling that the attainment of this project is beyond the means of any individual and that association is a powerful lever to foster any great and good cause do combine as a society for the purpose of carrying the above objects into effect and pledge themselves to each other to contribute all in their power to promote the interest of their association." The Society published fourteen works in a series entitled Jewish Miscellany before declining subscriptions and a fire brought its activities to an end in 1851. Stamp of the Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning on the front wrapper and Leeser Library Hebrew Education Society oval stamp on the title-page. The relatively scant holdings recorded by OCLC is deceptive. A remainder from the Dropsie College of Philadelphia with their stamp on the front wrapper and the stamp of the Leeser Society on the title-page as here began surfacing in the trade as early as the 1980s. They have the characteristics of the kind of remainders that Edward Morrill and Son had a profusion of on the upper floors of their Boston bookstore; copies with identical provenance appeared in the 1980 catalogues of M & S Rare Books of Weston Mass and Charles Wood of Cambridge supporting this hypothesis. Philadelphia: C. Sherman, 5606 [1845] unknown
