DUKE OF SUSSEX COPY Son of King George III, the Duke of Sussex (1773-1843) was a keen Hebraist, who worked toward removal of civil disabilities against the Jews of England. Gotthold Salomon (1784-1862) was the preacher of the new Reform Hamburg Temple. His “sermons, modeled, like those of other preachers, on Protestant examples, were praised by his contemporaries, notably H. Heine” (EJ). The translator, Anna Maria Goldsmid (1805-1889), a daughter of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, was “a London author, poetess, translator, educator and communal worker” (JE)
