1/1, January 1924-1931 (?) 16-20 pp., 2d. an issue, 2/6 a year. This was an epigenous descendant of the lively and controversial journals of the 1870s and 1880s on British-Israel. The journal proclaimed that is “issued for the purpose of giving information on the identity of the British peoples (including our kindred in the United States) with the House of Israel, i.e., the Ten Tribes, as distinct from the Jews, who are of the House of Judah. The Journal deals with all branches of inquiry touching the Hebrew origin of our nation, and shows the bearing of present-day events on the prophetic destiny of the English-speaking race.” The journal especially expressed that aspect of British-Israel that viewed the British Empire as the fulfillment of God’s covenant with Abraham and Judah/Israel—the Empire was divinely inspired and defended and would continue to rule “lesser breeds without the law” in an era when the cold breath of decline was obvious to all. Pine, the first editor, was appropriately the editor of Burke’s Peerage. The journal contained contributions on obscure Biblical topics, such as the Urim and Thummin, the date of Christ’s birth, and on current excavations in Palestine and speculations on the Great Pyramid. It featured “Our Jewish Page” with regular news of their brethren.
