Notes:

Aug. 1855-Jan. 1856 (v. 1, no. 1-2) were issued under joint editorship of Absalom Peters and Henry Barnard. The partnership being dissolved, the American journal of education and college review was continued under the editorship of Peters and S.S. Randall (with Alexander Wilder, Aug. 1856-Mar. 1857; Andrew Rankin, Apr. 1857). Barnard also continued the periodical under the title of American journal of education, the numbers for Aug. 1855 and Jan. 1856 forming also v. 1, no. 1-2, of his publication.

Edited by Henry Barnard, the American Journal of Education became the leader of the numerous educational journals appearing prior to the Civil War. The storehouse of information contained in this periodical overwhelms the reader with its completeness. The history of education in the United States was covered extensively, including the appearance of biographies. A running account of the progress of education (college, normal, and criminal), architectural design, translations from foreign educational journals, physical education, the education of women, and proceedings of educational societies were all included in the scope of this journal. Because of the lack of popular appeal, and perhaps because of being poorly printed, the journal was in serious financial difficulty much of the time. More than once it required personal sacrifices by the editor or monetary assistance from its supporters to assure publication. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900.
