"The journal started in 1923 as a monthly under the editorship of Murry, intended as a mouthpiece for D. H. Lawrence and himself. From 1927 it became a quarterly entitled the New Adelphi. Murry's editorship ended with a D. H. Lawrence memorial number in 1930, and the periodical became the Adelphi, Incorporating the New Adelphi, which ran until 1955."
