The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett- 1926

By

---

This Second & Revised Edition follows A. Trevor Barker’s 1926 Second Edition published by T. Fisher Unwin, London, and includes his Prefaces, Introduction, and Mars-Mercury essay in Appendix 1. It has been reset in larger type and retains the edition’s pagination and division of the Letters into sections. The Letter numbers have been set in arabic numerals and added to the running heads for convenient reference. Text of the Letters has been chec ked against photographs of the originals (see Barker’s two Prefaces for his editorial objectives); transcription errors as well as changes which depart from the originals beyond normal copy-editing have been corrected. Uncertain readings have been left as Barker transcribed them. Editorial notes and corrections by TUP are enclosed in braces, i.e. “curly” brackets ( { } ), and pertain mostly to dates and names for purposes of identification. Foreign terms and phrases are given as they appear in the Letters.
