Dupuis (1847-1877) was a French army doctor who started this journal after collaborating with De Rots, and then died in March of the same year. In January 1878, the journal was merged with Le Chercheur to form La Revue Belge du Spiritisme. The journal contained a memorial on the anniversary of Allan Kardec's death, an article of the "perfection of man by personal education," and proto-science fiction by Leon Denis on "Voyages dans les Espaces Celestes." Noted in Spiritual Scientist, May 1878, and the Spiritualist, March 8, 1878.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Le Galileen — 'The Galilean,' i.e. Christ — is a French spiritualist review of the 1870s that binds spirit communication to a reformist, Christ-centred religious idealism. Its columns console the bereaved with messages from the departed while preaching free will, moral struggle and a coming 'unification religieuse' raised on the ruins of the old churches. Running beneath the spiritualism is a strong current of animal magnetism — effluves, clairvoyance, somnambulic lucidity — that ties the paper to the mesmeric roots of French spiritism. Lacking the diagnostic Kardecist markers (perisprit, reincarnation), it sits closer to a Christian-magnetic spiritualism than to orthodox spiritisme, and its governing hope is the moral and religious regeneration of humanity under the sign of the Galilean.
