Containing almost six months of weekly issues of The Jewish Chronicle, this volume includes Anglo-Jewry’s delighted response to the news of the British government’s announcement of support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. Referencing what became known as the Balfour Declaration, the editor commented: “With one step the Jewish cause has made a great bound forward. The declaration of His Majesty’s Government as to the future of Palestine in relation to the Jewish people marks a new epoch for our race.” (See issue of 9th November, 1917, page 5).
