Meigs, Charles Delucena. Lecture on Jerusalem at the Commencement of the Christian Era. Delivered ... before the Athenian Institute, Philadelphia 1840. Philadelphia, 1841. 42 p.

Notes

The author professes a deep admiration for the Jews and their restoration as he invokes Maimonides. According to Meigs, an obstetrician, "It is true that beneath the shadow of the American Republic, the Jew sits in peace, and enjoys the repose and the freedom to which he has so long been a stranger" (p. 9). Rinderknecht 41-3473.
