Also there is an old half-faded rubber stamp on the upper right corner of the front wrapper for one of the printers (Westermann, NYC) and dated April 8 1878. [++] "This Sylvester's goal was to foster and develop the nascent American mathematical community by providing a venue for high-level research, according to the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). The American Journal of Mathematics was founded in 1878 by the English mathematician J. J. Sylvester at Johns Hopkins University, making it the oldest continuously published mathematical journal in the United States. Sylvester served as its first editor-in-chief as part of his effort to build the American mathematics community. The journal is published by the Johns Hopkins University Press and covers a broad range of mathematics, maintaining a reputation for publishing pioneering and significant research papers."--Wikipedia
