A letter by David Ben-Gurion to Yochanan Bader. Typewritten on the official stationery of the Prime Minister's office and hand-signed by David Ben-Gurion. Jerusalem, December 23, 1955.
In the letter, which is addressed to member of Knesset and of the "Cherut" movement Yochanan Bader (a copy of which was also sent to Moshe Sharet) Ben-Gurion addresses an incident that occurred in the Knesset, during which Menachem Begin called the members of the government "miserable". Ben-Gurion avoids calling Begin by his name and refers to him in the latter as "the member of Knesset who sits next to you" (as he used to do during his speeches in the Knesset).
Ben-Gurion writes: "The member of Knesset who sits next to you took the trouble to 'defend' the members of the government, which he calls 'miserable' from the Prime-Minister during a discussion in the Knesset. I must emphasize that your friend has given me a compliment with his words of slande… the opposition must allow the government and the majority supporting it to set things right according to its opinion since it is the one that bears the responsibility".
Dr. Yochanan Bader (1901-1994) immigrated to Palestine in 1943 and joined the Irgun. In 1945, he was arrested by the British and held in a detention camp in Latrun until May 1945. Together with Menachem Begin, he was one of the founders of the "Cherut" Movement. He served as member of the first to seventh Knesset.

English.?The Act was legislated by the British Parliament in 1702 and it obliges the Jews to continue and support their children should they decide to convert to Protestant Christianity. It is the first act of the British Parliament related to Jews only (until then Jews were mentioned only in clauses of Acts or in the context of law suits and trials).?This Act was a result of a petition that was submitted to the British Parliament when an eighteen years old girl was disowned and expelled from her home by her Jewish family when she decided to convert to Protestantism. The Act, which, in fact, was designed to facilitate and even to encourage conversion, was passed with almost no objection.?[1] leaf (printed on both sides), 32 cm. Good condition. Creases.

Anno regni Georgii II. Regis Magnæ Britanniæ, Franciæ, & Hiberniæ, vicesimo septimo… / An Act to repeal an Act… to permit persons professing the Jewish religion to be naturalized. London: Printed by Thomas Baskett, Printer to the King's most Excellent Majesty; and by the Assigns of Robert Baskett, 1753. English.
The act before us, from November 1753, repeals a bill that had been titled the "Jew Bill", which had been enacted several months earlier, in April 1753, and enabled the Jews of Britain to become citizens.
During the years 1740-1753, several bills were enacted which gradually enabled the Jews of Britain to become citizens, to hold positions and become owners of real estate, without being required to take a Christian oath. Until then, their legal status was that of "King's Subjects"; their living in Britain was temporary and they were not considered citizens. The enactment of the bills, which enabled the Jews' naturalization, caused riots in London and elsewhere and the government and the two houses of the parliament withdrew and repealed the act. The Christian oath as a condition for naturalization was eventually cancelled only in 1826.
4pp, 31.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Minor blemishes and small tears in the spine. Not in NLI.

A bill (as amended) to provide for the more complete and effectual liquidation of a debt due to His Majesty from the late Abraham Goldsmid, merchant, and his surviving partners… Ordered by the House of Commons, to be printed, 17 April 1812. English.
In 1810, due to immense financial losses, the merchant Abraham Goldsmid committed suicide, leaving a debt of 467 thousand pounds. The bill before us deals with the liquidation of the debt, to agreements with the many creditors and other matters concerning the company and shares which were owned by Goldsmid.

They were the sons of a prominent merchant from Amsterdam, who emigrated to London in 1763. They were involved in the establishment of the Great Synagogue and the Jewish Hospital of London. Their friendship with the sons of King George III and Lord Horatio Nelson paved the way to the acceptance of Jews to the British society.
