_Walter Lynne_ (No. 23. p. 367.).--"G.P." may look for Walter Lynne
into Johnson's _Typographia_, i. 556., of which copies may be had very
reasonably at Mr. Miller's (see end of No. 15.), 43. Chandos Street.

Your intimation of brevity is attended to; though, in truth, little

_Emancipation of the Jews_ (No. 25. p. 491.).--"H.M.A." inquires--1.
If the story mentioned in the Thurloe State Papers, that the Jews
sought to obtain St. Paul's Cathedral for a Synagogue, has been
confirmed by other writers? In Egan's _Status of the Jews in England_,
I find the following passage:--

"Monteith informs us, that during the Commonwealth, overtures
were made on behalf of the Hebrews to the Parliament and

privileges then sought by them, the sum of 500,000l.; several
debates took place on the subject, but the _ultimatum_ of the

The authorities cited on this point by the learned writer are,
Monteith's _History of Great Britain_, p. 473.; and Thurloe's _State
Papers_, vol. ii. p. 652.

On reference to Monteith, I find the following passage:--

"What is very remarkable in this is, that the Jews, who
crucified the Son of God, by whom Kings reign, took then
occasion of the conjuncture which seemed favourable to them.
They presented a petition to the Council of War, who crucified
Him again in the person of the King, His Vicegerent in the
kingdoms over which God had set him. By their petition, they
requested that the act of their banishment might be repealed
and _that they might have St. Paul's Church for their
synagogue_, for which, _and the library of Oxford_, wherewith
they desired to begin their traffic again, they offered five
hundred thousand pounds, but the Council of War would have
eight."--Monteiths's _Hist. of the Troubles of Great Britain_,
p. 473.

I conclude that the author of the _Status of the Jews_, by o
