The Bulletin was published without place of publication or date, and is attributed to Charles Fauvety. Fauvety (1813-1894) was a French Protestant religious and utopian socialist, spiritualist and active Freemason who tried his whole life to develop a secular, rational religion. On him see the note under Religion Laique. The Bibliotheque Nationale collected the journal with Revue Spirite and it may have been distributed with that journal. Rene Caillie was honorary Vice-President of the society.

Claude-Generated Themes:   The Bulletin de la Société Scientifique d'Études Psychologiques is the organ of a Parisian society that studied spirit phenomena under the banner of science. Its content is Kardecist spiritism at core — l'esprit, the séance, spiritisme — but it is unusually interwoven with animal magnetism (the magnetiser, the somnambule, magnetic passes and cures) and with the new laboratory hypnotism of Charcot and Braid, and its prose borrows the confident idiom of contemporary physics. It reads as a late-nineteenth-century attempt to give spiritism scientific respectability, sitting where Kardecism, mesmerism, and early psychical research overlap. The panel's New Thought and phrenology signals are vocabulary artifacts, not genuine themes.
