Excerpt from Contents-Index, Vol. 1
To prevent the subject catalogue from attaining an unwieldy growth and to retain its character as an actual shelf-guide, the experiment was made of writing the index upon sheets of note paper size arranged alphabetically in boxes placed upon the librarian's desk where it was centrally located for purposes of reference and available for the insertion of fresh entries at any moment. Fourteen years of trial have demonstrated the success of the experiment as a labor and time-saver in the daily assistance to readers.
Generally, nothing less in extent than a ten octave-page article has been entered in the index. Dates following the name of a person are those of his birth and death. Roman numerals (excepting the lower-case v. For volume) signify a series, period or portion of a work. Volume and page numbers are separated by a colon. A dash after the page number denotes continuation of the article.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the complex relationship between the United States and the movement toward Zionism in the early 20th century by analyzing the correspondence between a key member of the US Senate, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge with numerous American ambassadors. The author studies the previously unpublished diplomatic exchanges between Lodge and these ambassadors, comprising Americans in Berlin, London, St. Petersburg, and Istanbul, over the period from 1914 until the 1920s. Through the lens of this new material, the book also examines the tensions between American foreign policy, domestic politics, and the complexities of international diplomacy during World War I and its aftermath. This book provides a unique angle on America's role in the evolution of the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine and its eventual foundation as Israel. It will appeal not only to those with an interest in the history of US foreign policy but also to scholars of international relations and modern Jewish history.
