Essay and speech on Jewish disabilities
Macaulay, Thomas Babington Macaulay, Baron
Jews -- Great Britain
(5) [Roumanian]. The son of Prince John Ghica (for some time Roumanian
minister at the Court of St. James’), who was educated in England,
translated Macaulay’s Essay on the “Civil Disabilities of the Jews”
into Roumanian. The translation appeared as a small pamphlet in
Bucharest. Political exigencies and the rise of anti-Jewish feeling in
Roumania demanded the suppression of the translation, to avoid awkward
questions and to remove a possible bar to the young man’s career.
The pamphlet has in consequence almost completely disappeared. A few
copies, however, have been saved, and one of them is in the library of
the Rev. Dr. M. Gaster.
