1896-1901 Monthly (10 issues a year), then semiannual
Paris, France. Language: French. Editor: J.-Camille Chaigneau.
Succeeds: La Revue Immortaliste
1/1, January 1896-1901. 8-24 pp., 8 francs a year. The journal brought together Chaigneau, Marius George, former editor of La Vie Posthume, Emile di Rienzi, of La Pensee Nouvelle, and sought to explore the consequences of human immortality and of "harmonious progressives" and was primarily devoted to progressivist ideas. In its introductory issue the publishers said it would continue the work of the Revue Immortaliste, whose number of pages was insufficient to cover its goals, but the explanation probably conceals some other reason for the change. Chaigneau was a poet and a frequent contributor to Revue Spirite. He was one of the protagonists in the exploits of the flower medium Marie that were told in Les Crysanthèmes de Marie (1880). L'Isis Moderne, 1897, notes an article in the journal on a medium's reception of a new melody from the spirit of Offenbach. Papus, in his "Presses neo-spiritualistes," 1896, described the journal as a "very serious" effort to reconcile enlightened materialism with spiritualism. University of London, Warburg; BNF.
