1/1, May 10, 1879-June 1934. 7-4 francs a year, 16 pp. Hector Durville intended this as the successor of the homonymous journal founded by Jules Dupotet (1845-1861), and called it a "second series." The masthead listed H.P. Blavatsky, Charles Fauvety, Stanislaus de Guaita, and Stainton Moses as founding members of the Societe Magnetique de France, and named Blavatsky as a correspondent, along with Abbe Roca, Dr. Babbitt, W. Crookes, Max Dessoir, J. Peladan, Pietro d'Amico, Rene Caillie, and others. Over its lifetime, the journal increasingly moved from clinical magnetism to accommodation with current spiritist and especially occult and magical notions that had first come to the fore in Dupotet's writings. On the Durvilles and their various journals, see the note under Eudia. Listed in Notes and Queries, January 1900, and in Edouard Blitz's Social Science and Freemasonry, 1896, as one of the official organs of Papus's Union Idealiste Universelle.
