“PALESTINE. The Jaffa American Colony — Its Origin, Organization, Settlement and Work. An Economic Religious Scheme and the Consequences of Hypocrisy and Delusion. Modern Demoralization at the Fountain Head of Christianity. Anglo-Saxons from England as the Descendants of Ephraim and Rulers in the Land.”
Context added by this archive
The line under the headline is transcribed; the body is set in agate on an 1870 broadsheet and is not legible enough in this scan to transcribe without guessing, so it has not been. The column is datelined Jaffa, 23 April 1870, and the rest of the page is New York real estate transfers.
A correction
An earlier catalogue entry called this the Jewish American Colony. The page says Jaffa.

This record is part of Covering Palestine, an archive of American newspaper clippings about Palestinians, 1724 to 2023. Researched and assembled by Maria Robles.
The clipping belongs to the newspaper that printed it, or to the news agency that supplied the copy. It is reproduced here for research, criticism and commentary. A city here is where the newspaper was published, not where the story came from, and on most records it was taken from the masthead.
