Originally a general purpose journal of news and comment, the journal gradually added spiritualism, mesmerism and parapsychology to its repertoire. It was still in existence in May 1900 when it published a long expose of the frauds of Alberto Sarak, Conde de Das. Exchange in Ubersinnliche Welt, 1893. Crabtree 1477 incorrectly says the journal was published only in one volume in 1900.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Read across 1891–1893, El Sol (Lima) is a Peruvian spiritist paper — spiritism (espiritismo) at its core, with mediumship and materialization, and a defensive eye toward the era's alarm over hypnotism. It carries Kardecian Spiritualism into Andean South America in Spanish, part of the strong Latin-American spiritist current. Not mesmerism; Spanish-language spiritism.

Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description.
