The site is a pioneer one and very important in the promotion of vegetarianism in Brazil and Latin America. It contains a dedication to Anna Kingsford. Marly Winckler administers this site. Below we can read the dedication in question:

“This site is dedicated to the great English Doctor Anna Bonus Kingsford, who did not spare any effort in promoting vegetarianism, having studied medicine in Paris – because in England women were not allowed to study medicine – in order to prove that a vegetarian diet was good for human beings. She completed her course with distinction and defended her thesis in 1880, “De l’Alimentation Végétale chez l’Homme” (“The Vegetarian Nutrition of Man”). This thesis was afterwards published in English under the title “The Perfect Way in Diet”.”

• The Order of the Cross: http://www.orderofthecross.org/ – an informal Christian Fellowship, dedicated to the Compassionate Life and the realization of the Christ within. Since its foundation in 1904 it has promoted a pacifist and vegetarian way of life. Rev. John Todd Ferrier founded the Order of the Cross. In one of his books – The Logia or Sayings of the Master – Rev. Ferrier wrote a dedication, which gives an idea of his appreciation of Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland:“

                              Dedication
            “To the Members of the ANCIENT CHRISTHOOD ORDER who have for untold ages been dwellers within this planetary system, ministering unto the children of the Earth in things that are of God and the Soul, the true Seers and Prophets in all ages and amongst all peoples, the Interpreters of the Divine Wisdom and Manifestors of the Divine Love;
            “And very specially to those who formed the inner group of the Master’s most intimate friends, and heard from Him these Logia, and beheld His sorrow in the days of His Gethsemane;
            “And of these we would name two who have been with us once more as the Messengers of the Highest, and who now minister from the Heavens, namely, ANNA BONUS KINGSFORD and EDWARD MAITLAND, who were known under other names in the days of the blessed Manifestation and were very near to the Master: –
            “To these we dedicate this volume.”
