[Washington, 1860. 101, [3 blanks] pp. 36th Cong., 1st Sess. HED 76. Uncut and untrimmed. Bit of foxing. Near Fine.
Lewis Cass, President Buchanan's Secretary of State, transmits documentation of the anti-Semitism of Swiss authorities. One Gootmann, an American citizen, was ordered "to quit the country, on the ground of his being an Israelite merchant." Much material on this deplorable incident, as well as other similar incidents, is printed here; with efforts by American authorities to change Swiss behavior. The Report also reviews the litany of Swiss laws which stamp Jews with second-class citizenship and a variety of prohibitions which do not burden other ethnic groups.
