The journal continued the long list of contributors that its predecessor had published: Charles Johnston, Henry Frank, Alexander Wilder, C.H.A. Bjerregaard, Eva Best, Hiram K. Jones, Paul Avenal, Abbie Walker Gould, Axel E. Gibson, Mabel Gifford (Shine), et al., and gave reviews and notices of most of the New Thought and occult books of the period.

Claude-Generated Themes:	The Ideal Review is an eclectic late-nineteenth-century occult-and-metaphysical review that sits at the Theosophy / New Thought crossroads rather than in a single tradition. Its vocabulary spreads across occultism and esoteric philosophy, Theosophical brotherhood language, and a mental-healing idiom of the silence, the subconscious and the mind's effect upon the body, with astrology and spiritualism present at the margins. Unusually for the corpus, its phrenology signal is partly genuine — Gall and the cranial 'organs' are named, so it earns a minor phrenology-physiognomy mapping rather than the usual philosophical-'faculties' false positive. It is best filed as an occult-metaphysical review with Theosophical and New Thought secondary residences, its precise masthead identity left open given the generic title. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description.
