| Adams, Hannah. The History of the Jews. 1812. | “The aim of the lawgiver in forbidding the Hebrews to lend upon interest to one another was to draw closer between them the bonds of fraternity, to give them a lesson of reciprocal benevolence, and to engage them to assist each other with disinterestedness. The intention of Moses was to make of his people a nation of husbandmen for a long time after him, and all his regulations seemed designed to divert their attention from commerce. His prohibition must therefore be considered as a principle of charity, and not as a commercial regulation. According to the Talmud it is to be considered as made to a man in want; for in case of a loan to a merchant, even a Jew, profit adequate to the risk should be considered as lawful. The Mosaic law forbids all manner of interest on loan not only between Jews, but between a Jew and his countrymen, without distinction of religion. The loan must be gratuitous when it is not intended for commercial speculations. These humane laws, however, were made for a people who then formed a state, and held a rank among nations.” | quote | Tama, Diogène. Transactions of the Parisian Sanhedrim. 1807. | Political writing | |
| Adams, Hannah. The History of the Jews. 1812. | “If the remnants of this people, now scattered among all nations, are attentively considered, it will be seen that, since they have been driven from Palestine, they no longer have had a common country, they no longer have had to maintain among them the primeval equality of property. Although filled with the spirit of their legislation, they have been sensible that the letter of the law could no longer be obeyed when its principle was done away; and they have, therefore, without any scruple, lent money on interest to trading Jews, as well as to men of different persuasions.” | quote | Tama, Diogène. Transactions of the Parisian Sanhedrim. 1807. | Political writing | |
| Adams, Hannah. The History of the Jews. 1812. | “It is an incontrovertible point according to the Talmud, that interest, even among Israelites, is lawful in commercial transactions, where the lender, running some of the risk of the borrower, becomes a sharer in his profits.” | quote | Tama, Diogène. Transactions of the Parisian Sanhedrim. 1807. | Political writing | |
| Adams, Hannah. The History of the Jews. 1812. | “to be the emperour's intention to secure to them the free exercise of their religious worship, and the full enjoyment of their political rights. But that, in return for his gracious protection, his majesty required a religious pledge for their strict adherence to the principles contained in the replies to the queries proposed to them, and that the answers of the Jewish deputies, converted into decisions by another assembly, of a nature still more dignified and religious, might find a place near the Talmud, and thus acquire, in the eyes of the Jews of all countries and all ages, the greatest possible authority. For this purpose it was deemed requisite to convene the grand sanhedrim, which, according to ancient custom, will be composed of seventy members exclusive of the president. The duties of this venerable assembly shall be to convert into religious doctrines the answers which have been given by the Jewish deputies, and also those which may result from the continuance of their sittings.” | quote | Tama, Diogène.

In England they would hold no communion with you either on religious or political subjects, especially as the local welfare of the country so imperiously forbids it.” | quote | "An English Israelite".

| Adams, Hannah. The History of the Jews. 1812. | “above Paramaribo, and to render our visit more interesting, the children of Israel were induced to pay us the honours of the New Jerusalem. For this purpose they were at much expense, and their attentions merit my gratitude. I became acquainted with two Jews, whose erudition and powers are astonishing. The one is named Joseph Barious, and the other Isaac Nasci. The last is an extraordinary man, if we consider that he never has been out of Surinam, where he was born; received no aid but from his own genius; and has risen above the errours of his sect. His knowledge of history is profound; and he has studied methodically Arabic, Chaldean, and rabbinical Hebrew. Yet this man, who passes eight hours every day in his study, and has a correspondence with the most celebrated men in Europe, employs himself, as the meanest of his countrymen, in buying and selling old cloaths. He has composed a Dictionary in the Indian Calibi language, and thinks he finds the themes in it to be Hebrew.” | quote | Malouet, Pierre-Victor.

If no capital punishment took place here as in New- England, it was not owing to the moderation of the church, or spirit of the legislature, as may be inferred from the law itself; but to historical circumstances which have not been handed down to us.” | quote | Morse, Jedidiah.

I used every means in my power to rally and get them in some order; but my attempts were fruitless and ineffectual; and on the appearance of a small party of the enemy (not more than sixty or seventy) their disorder increased, and they ran away in the greatest confusion, without firing a single gun.” | quote | Washington, George. “To the President of Congress.

| Adams, Hannah. A Summary History of New-England. 1799. | History | “jealousy of power had been universally spread among the people of the United States. The destruction of the old forms of government, and the licentiousness of war, had in a great measure broken their habits of obedience; their passions had been inflamed by the cry of despotism; and, like centinels, who had been suddenly surprized by the approach of an enemy, the rustling of a leaf was sufficient to give them an alarm.
