Six Issues of New Masses in April and May of 1937 ... the April 13 Issue Thru the May 18 Issue

CONTENTS NEW MASSES 1937

New Masses Issue Numbering Error note:

Six issues of New Masses in April and May of 1937 ... the April 13 issue thru the May 18 issue... have errors in their issue number.

These issues should have been numbered Volume 23 Numbers 3 thru 8, but instead are numbered Volume 23, Numbers 4 thru 9.

The May 18 and the May 25 issue are BOTH numbered Volume 23, Number 9, for with the May 25 1937 Issue the publishers finally noticed their error and quietly corrected it without any fanfare in the issue. January 5, 1937 TOL. XXII, NO. 2
