This was a standard Kardecist journal, although it sought to position itself in the long line of wise and holy teachers leading back to the prophets and Zoroaster and forward through Kardec and Flammarion. Most articles were transcribed from the communications of the spirits, who were either unidentified or identified only by their initials, as were the mediums themselves. It started to reprint the works of Kardec. Two generals, Manuel Plowes and Refugio I. Gonzales (the latter the father of the editor of this journal) started the Sociedad Espirita Central de la Republica Mexicana in August 1872 and then founded this journal, perhaps to be specifically the organ of the society. In its first issue it said that La Ilustracion Espirita which General Gonzales was running was its "first-born sister" and it was published in alternate weeks with that journal. The journal was noted in Banner of Light in 1873 and Spiritual Scientist, July 20, 1876. Hemeroteca Nacional de Mexico.
