I have not had the opportunity of reading Madame Blavatsky's two volumes, but I have read during the past ten years many publications from the pen of herself, Colonel Olcott, and of other Theosophists.

They appear to me to have sought to rehabilitate a kind of Spiritualism in Eastern phraseology.

I think many of their allegations utterly erroneous, and their reasonings wholly unsound.

I very deeply regret indeed that my colleague and co-worker has, with somewhat of suddenness, and without any interchange of ideas with myself, adopted as facts matters which seem to me to be as unreal as it is possible for any fiction to be.

My regret is greater as I know Mrs.Besant's devotion to any course she believes to be true.
