American Magazine and Monthly Chronicle for the British Colonies, June 1758

This is the June 1758 issue of the Philadelphia periodical, *American Magazine and Monthly Chronicle for the British Colonies*. This issue is particularly significant for containing the first published English translation of a sermon delivered by Rabbi David Fraenckel of Berlin following the Prussian victory at Leuthen. Published by William Bradford, this marks the first Jewish publication in the Americas. The sermon, celebrating Prussian victory and the role of Jews in the Prussian state, was subsequently reprinted several times in pamphlet form in the American colonies.
