Item 1.           SECURITY AND ISSUER.

                  The class of equity securities to which this statement on
                  Schedule 13D (the "Statement") relates is the Common Stock,
                  par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Harcourt
                  General, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation. The
                  principal executive offices of the Company are located at 27
                  Boylston Street, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts 02467.

                  The individuals and corporations set forth in Item 2 of this
                  Statement are the beneficial owners of certain shares of Class
                  B Stock, $1.00 par value (the "Class B Stock"), of the Company
                  some of which are subject to restrictions on transfer and
                  disposition pursuant to the terms of the Smith-Lurie/Marks
                  Family Stockholders' Agreement dated December 29, 1986, as
                  amended from time to time (the "Stockholders' Agreement"), as
                  well as certain shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value, of
                  the Company (the "Common Stock"). While Class B Stock is not
                  an "equity security" within the meaning of Regulation
                  13d-l(d), shares of Class B Stock are convertible at any time,
                  on a share-for-share basis, into Common Stock, and therefore
                  beneficial owners of Class B Stock are deemed to be the
                  beneficial owners of the Common Stock into which the Class B
                  Stock is convertible.

                  This Statement amends and supplements the Statement on
                  Schedule 13D dated January 13, 1987, as amended prior hereto.
