Author(s) AbstractThe Voice of Jacob (London), in its issue of December 20th, 1844, gives the following interesting information Launceston, Van Diemans Land. Three of the local papers received at our office contain particulars of a very spirited subscription got up for the erection of a synagogue at Launceston to which men of all creeds are cheerfully and voluntarily contributing. The amount advertised up to the 6th July last was nearly £700 including £25 each from Messrs. Moses Son & Davis and Messrs. H. E. and M. Moses of London. The Editor of each of the journals before us, devotes a leading article in advocacy of the appeal, and in acknowledgment of the claim upon every sincere Christian, for the maintenance of the ancient worship of Israel.
