Title: Names of Persons Who Took the Oath of Allegiance to the State of Pennsylvania, Between the Years 1777 and 1789, with a History of the "Test Laws" of Pennsylvania.
Printer/Publisher: John Campbell
Language: English
Notes: Rabbi Gershom Seixas, Simon Nathan, Asher Myers, Bernard Gratz, and Haym Salomon address the Council of Censors; they protest the injustice of the oath affirming the divine inspiration of both the Old and New Testaments because it "deprived them of the right of ever becoming representatives" (pp. xxxii-xxxiii).
