The American Journal of Psychology is now a century old, an accomplishment that doubtlessly would have pleased its founder, G. Stanley Hall, and probably would have amazed him as well. Hall founded the AmericanJ ournal of Psychologyin 1887. It was the first journal in English devoted solely to psychology and has been the longest in continuous publication. Wilhelm Wundt's PhilosophischeS tudien began publication in 1881, but it was in German and was essentially a house organ devoted to the Leipzig laboratory and its alumni. It was almost as much philosophical as psychological and lapsed publication in 1903. There was Mind, an English journal which began publication in 1876, but according to Hall, "Both its spirit and its field were very different from the journal I intended, which I wanted to have, first of all, an exponent of experimental laboratory psychology."' Although Mind published articles of psychological interest, it was not solely a psychological publication. We should mention another English-language publication as well, the Journal of Psychology dating from 1883. This was a fictional journal, however, in A. Conan Doyle's "The Hound of the Baskervilles."2 There was a real American publication, however, on which Doyle may have based his citation, the Journal of American Psychology. It published for seven issues between April 1883 and October 1884. This journal was devoted not to psychology in its primary sense, but was the organ of the National Association for the Protection of the Insane and the Prevention of Insanity.
