This is the organ of the Sociedad Constancia founded in Buenos Aires the same year as the journal was started. Marino (1847-1927), the founder of the journal, went on in 1900 to start the Confederacion Espiritista Argentina (CEA). The journal was very international in its approach, mirroring the population of Buenos Aires, with regular contributions by Spanish spiritists like Amalia Domingo y Soler and translations from American, British and French journals on the likes of J.V. Mansfield, William Eglinton, et al., but remained fundamentally Kardecist in approach, although over the decades it has tended to be less radical in its political slant and to have increasingly welcomed psychical research, discussions of telepathy, clairvoyance and the like. The journal is notable for a heated discussion in the early 1890s over spiritualism, theosophy, psicologia, magnetism and hypnotism caused by the appearance of "Dr. A.M. de Das," who contributed an article in November 1892. This was the notorious international confidence man, Alberto Sarak, Conde de Das, going under the name of his lovely wife Antonia Martinez Royo. On them, see the note under Philadelphia.

Note: Irregulaties in Constancia's volume (ano) and issue labeling make it difficult to differentiate between editorial intent and typographical errors, in volume and issue numbering. We have relied on internal clues to separate volumes.
