{{Style S-Small capitals|At}} the close of last year, M. Alexandre Aksakof, after having borne, single-handed, the cost of bringing out the German journal, ''Psychische Studien, ''during four years, in addition to the translation and publication of fourteen works on Spiritualism by the best English and American writers, signified his intention of withdrawing from the work of supplying Germany with a journal on a subject which had found so few supporters. Before the article setting forth M. Aksakof’s views, and giving a retrospect of his labours, with a farewell address to his readers, had appeared in print, the advent of Slade in Berlin, and his subsequent visit to Leipzig, completely changed the current of affairs, and a gentleman in Leipzig offered to share the burden of expense with M. Aksakof, if he would consent to continue the publication of ''Psychische Studien. To ''this M. Aksakof agreed, and his article of seventeen pages''— ''“My Farewell Transformed into an Exhortatory Greeting”—is a kind of bugle call to Germany to aid in the work, of the reality and usefulness of which he gives, here and elsewhere, the history and the proof. In particular, he insists upon the necessity of personal experiment by means of private circles, and cites the case of Herr Gustav Wiese, in Wiesbaden, as an encouraging example, this gentleman having now all the same manifestations in his own circle, that he witnessed with Mr. Williams in London. | {{Style S-Small capitals|At}} the close of last year, M.
