Additional notes

This periodical was owned by the New York Times until 1936, and during that time it sometimes reprinted material that first appeared in that newspaper.

This periodical absorbed Forum and Century in 1940, and published under the title Current History and Forum from July 1940 through June 1941. It started a new series in September 1941. (Our renewal records above note the new series until the individual issue numbers get high enough to be distinguishable from issues in the old series.)
