By The Same Author. Uniform With This Volume

H. P. Blavatsky : Her Life and Work for Humanity. A Vindication, and an Exposition of her Mission and Teachings. The main tenets of The Secret Doctrine are clearly summarized, the legal unsoundness of the charges formulated by the Society for Psychical Research in 1885 is conclusively demonstrated, and many new and important facts are given concerning the Theosophical Movement. " It is a wonderful record, and I, who have had the priceless privilege of knowing most of those who were in touch with H. P. B., and are still alive, can find few words to express my gratitude for the book. It is written with the blood of the heart ; it is aflame with the high inspiration that was aroused by the Teacher in the pupil's heart, and which has never grown less in the years and the disappointments that have followed the Teacher's passing ... I shall love and prize this volume because it has made me new-hearted in my defence of H. P. B." Mr. John M. Prentice, in Dawn. "This book, like Mrs. Cleather's talks, illuminates, and is illuminated by H. P. B., who becomes more than ever a " vision splendid," and the chapter which summarizes the leading conceptions of The Secret Doctrine can only be regarded by students as one of the finest things in our Theosophical literature." From an Editorial account of Mrs. Cleather's visit to Australia, in Dawn, March, 1923. 76 H. P. Blavatsky : A Great Betrayal. A Protest against the policy of the Theosophical Society, as developed since H. P. Blavatsky's death in 1891, giving important inside information based on Mrs. Cleather's personal knowledge and experience as a pupil of H. P. B. since 1887, and original documents in her possession. An exposure of the methods and doctrines of so-called " Neo-Theosophy." " It is to be hoped that every member of the T. S. throughout the world will read Mrs. Cleather's two books. The Great Betrayal is for the day only ; it is a reformer's manual as much as anything, and on fighting lines. H. P. B. Her Life and Work for Humanity, will take its place as a classic . . . Mrs. Cleather has promised to write some introductory books on Theosophical subjects, and it is safe to say that these will be of great value in the future/' Dawn. " A notable publication . . .It purports to showthat the present leaders of the '' Theosophical Society* have departed more and more from H. P. Blavatsky's teachings, and that they are ' now their direct antithesis, particularly on the fundamental question of sex morality.' ... It will assuredly create a sensation in theosophical circles ... A note of sincerity almost passionate sincerity seems to ring through it from cover to cover. Assuredly no Theosophist can afford to neglect its perusal, which has keenly interested us, though a layman where Theosophism is concerned." Bangalore Post. CALCUTTA and SIMLA : THACKER, SPINK & CO.
