Combined Brittan's Spiritual Age (New York) which had suspended publishing in October 1857 and Newton's New England Spiritualist. In August 1858 it incorporated Albro's Age of Progress.

The journal emulated Newton's New England Spiritualist and The Spiritual Telegraph in publishing short articles and numerous records of remarkable seances. Notably, in the last few issues before it suspended publication it began to publish the mysterious novel "Dhoula Bel: or the Magic Globe" by "The Rosicrucian" (P.B. Randolph). LOC; Harvard microfilm. W. H. Chaney was probably the father of Jack London. Harvard microfilm.
