Emancipation of the Jews

By C. H.

"MR. AUSTEN," who inquires (p. 401.) about the Jews during the Commonwealth will do well to refer to a chapter on the Jews in Godwin's *History of the Commonwealth*, and to Sir Henry Ellis's notes on a remarkable letter describing a Jewish synagogue in London immediately after the Restoration, in the second series of his *Letters*; and in these two places he will, I think, find references to all known passages on the subject of Cromwell's proceedings as regards the Jews.
