General Fund of Spiritism.

Desiring, with all her possibilities, and according to the needs of the moment, to contribute to the realization of the plans for the future made by her husband, Mrs. Allan Kardec, sole legal proprietor of the works and of the Review, desires, out of devotion to the Doctrine:

1st To donate annually to the General Fund of Spiritism the surplus of the profits coming from the sale of the Spiritist books and from the subscriptions of the Review, as well as from the operations of the Spiritist Bookshop, but on the express condition that no one, in the capacity of member of the Central Commission or otherwise, shall have the right to interfere in this industrial business, and that the receipts, whatever they may be, shall be collected without observation, since she intends to manage everything personally, to schedule the reprintings of the works, the new publications, to regulate at her discretion the emoluments of her employees, the rent, the future expenses, in a word, all the general expenditures; 2nd The Review is open to the publication of the articles which the Central Commission shall judge useful to the cause of Spiritism, but on the express condition that they be previously sanctioned by the proprietor and by the editorial committee, the same occurring with all publications, whatever they may be;

3rd The General Fund of Spiritism is entrusted to a treasurer, charged with the management of the funds, under the supervision of the Directing Commission. Until they are used, these funds shall be employed in the acquisition of real property to meet all eventualities. Annually the treasurer shall make a detailed rendering of accounts of the situation of the Fund, which shall be published in the Review.

These decisions having been communicated to the Society of Paris, in the session of April 16, Mrs. Allan Kardec was the object of unanimous congratulations.

This noble example of disinterestedness and of devotion will be, we have no doubt, appreciated and understood by all those whose active and incessant concurrence is won by the regenerating philosophy par excellence.
