1846 1ed Jewish George Washington Patriotism American Nehemiad History Alden



Joseph Alden was a 19th century teacher, administrator, minister, and author. Alden wrote more than seventy volumes, including works on philosophy, religion, government, and language. Alden’s book ‘The Jewish Washington’ is a narrative that encourages people to combine religion and politics, commonly called the ‘nehemiad.’ James Patterson says,

“Well into the nineteenth century, Washington remained the centerpiece of the American nehemiad for New England clergy. Perhaps the masterpiece in this nehemiad subgenre is Joseph Alden's 1846 book, The Jewish Washington. The fusion of piety and patriotism leads to a fusion of Nehemiah and Washington, and Alden provides an account of the fusion by retelling the public career of Washington through the “lessons of patriotism and piety suggested by the history of Nehemiah.””



This 1846 edition includes five black and white illustrations throughout.
