Title: The Echo, with other Poems
Printer/Publisher: Printed at the Porcupine Press by Pasquin Petronius
Language: English
Notes: Poems by Alsop, Theodore Dwight, and others. “Prospect of Happiness for the Jews”: pp. [313]-18. Originally written in 1791, this 1807 republication was inspired by Napoleon’s convening of the Paris Sanhedrin. See also "Triumph of Democracy" (pp. 268-82) wherein Hugh Henry Brackenridge (p. 276) is rebuked for his ties to a man named Israel who was maligned as a Jew in the pages of the Federalist press. John D. Israel was the founding editor of The Tree of Liberty (Pittsburgh, 1800), a paper that backed the opposition Democratic-Republican Party founded by Thomas Jefferson. See Claude Milton Newlin, The Life and Writings of Hugh Henry Brackenridge (Princeton, N.J., 1932), pp. 208-9; the online Wikipedia entry, "Tree of Liberty (newspaper)," does not identify John D. Israel either as Jewish or an apostate Jew. S & S 11971.
