The journal was first published by Blavatsky.^[2] 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.^[3] Contributing authors included W.B.Yeats.^[4] Blavatsky’s "Luciferian" editorials provided inspiration to generations of adept esoteric writers that were to follow.^[5]

In September 1897 the journal was renamed to de:The Theosophical Review.^[6]

In more recent times^[when?] the title has been revived.^[7]
