History

The journal was first published by Blavatsky. The first issues were co-edited with Mabel Collins. From 1889 until Blavatsky's death in May 1891 Annie Besant was a co-editor. Besant then published the journal until September 1895, when George Robert Stowe Mead became a co-editor. The journal appeared twelve times a year and was 80 to 90 pages long.[1] The last of twenty volumes was published in August 1897. More than 2800 articles were published in this journal between 1887 and 1897.[2] Then the journal was renamed to The Theosophical Review.[3]
