To the readers of the Review.

For some time now circumstances have forced us to give greater development to the lead articles and to restrict the spirit communications, owing to the necessity of certain refutations of current affairs. Soon we shall be able to restore the balance.

We try to ensure in our journal as much variety as possible, in order to satisfy all tastes and somewhat all expectations, but there are things that take priority. We are happy to see that we are generally understood and that account is taken of the complications of work resulting from the struggle to sustain and from the unceasing extension of the doctrine, being at the center to which arrive all the ramifications and the countless threads of that bundle which today embraces the whole world. Thanks be to God, our efforts are crowned with success and, as compensation for our toils, moral satisfactions are not lacking to us. Allan Kardec.
