A Short Statement on behalf of his Majesty ' s Subjects professing the Jewish Religion . A very plain and conclusive statement of grievances which ought to be , and we may now perhaps hope will be , speedily redressed . These grievances chiefly arise from the oaths required , not only as a qualification for office , but for the exercise of professions .
' That the Disabilities of which the British Jews complain , entail on them positive injury , is an undoubted fact . These disabilities lower them in the scale of society , and degrade them in the eyes of their fellow-subjects , by restraining the free exercise of their talents in industrious and honourable pursuits . Unable conscientiously to take the required oaths , as at present shaped , they are in consequence excluded from municipal and corporate offices , from civil and militarv employments , as well as from offices of honour
and trust under the Crown ; and are besides prevented from making any advance in the learned professions . In short , by the bad policy of the existing laws , they are deprived of those rights most valued by Englishmen . Disabled from acquiring the honours so highly prized by the enlightened and enterprising of hia Majesty ' s subjects , it is no small aggravation of their case , that while oppressed by restrictions , which leave to them only the pursuit of
wealth , to elevate them to any consideration or influence in society , they are reproached for not availing themselves of those paths to distinction , which , although open to all other classes , are to them invidiously prohibited . The British Jews have thus to contend with overbearing disadvantages , being not only exposed to unmerited opprobrium , but injured by pains and penalties demanded neither by policy nor expediency /
The value of this pamphlet is increased by an appendix , containing the oaths and affirmations required from persons of various religious denominations .
