David Aaron de Sola. A Sermon Delivered At The Spanish and Portuguese Jews Synagogue, Bevis Marks on… the Day Appointed by Her Majesty as a General Thanksgiving to Almighty God.

“Upwards of 60,000 inhabitants of England have been swept away by this pestilence” (p. 6). Haham de Sola refers to a cholera epidemic which ravaged London at the time. He later discusses the views of an observer who notes that “throughout the late awful visitation, so few, if any Jews, died of the cholera in London” (p. 11).
