[1] The identity of the editor at the time of the June 1901 issue was already known before any issues from the fifth volume became available, thanks to a letter by Evans Hugh published in ‘Modern Astrology’, July 1901, in which he indicates that the publisher of Coming Events had replaced Sepharial with him as the editor
