Light was published by the London Spiritualist Alliance beginning in 1881. William Eglinton and other early London Theosophists were frequently mentioned in early issues. Publication was taken over in 1884 by the College of Pyschic Studies, founded by William Stainton Moses, and continues to this day:
The College journal appears in July and November. Published without a break since 1881 – a rare distinction – it has remained in the forefront of psychic and spiritual knowledge, reflecting at all times the current work of the College.[1]
