The Jew of Mogadore: A Comic Opera

This pamphlet contains the text of Richard Cumberland's comic opera, *The Jew of Mogadore*, as published by D. Longworth in New York in 1808. The opera, set in Mogador (present-day Essaouira, Morocco), likely involves comedic elements related to Jewish characters and life in the area. This edition is an American imprint and shows that the opera was popular enough to be published across the Atlantic.
