A quote about this magazine series from the reference list I am using. It explains the numbering and titling.
GKC contributed a series of 12 articles between January 1920 and January 1921 under the general title “The Next/New Renascence: Thoughts on the Structure of the Future.” The series is complete but there is some confusion in the titles: the first article gives the general title “The Next Renascence”, while the rest have “New”; the fifth article (“The Library Broken Loose,” May 1920) is wrongly numbered “IV”; the seventh, eighth and ninth articles omit the number; the seventh and eighth articles move the general title to the subtitle; and the ninth uses a different subtitle altogether.
I don't think it is necessary to put the longer subtitle stated above in the recordings because of this inconsistency. I will have it in the summary. The individual article titles as listed in the MW should be sufficient.
