THEOSOPHY, RELIGION, AND OCCULT SCIENCE.
By Henry S. Olcott, President of the Theosophical Society.
With Glossary of Indian Terms and Index. In crown 8vo,
cloth, 7 s. 6 d.
“ This book, to which we can only allot an amount of space quite incommensurate with its intrinsic interest, is one that will appeal to the prepared student rather than to the general reader. To any one who has previously made the acquaintance of such books as Mr. Sinnett's ‘ Occult World ’ and * Esoteric Buddhism,’ or has in other ways familiarised himself with the doctrines of the so-called Theosophical

Society or Brotherhood, these lectures of Colonel Olcott’s will be rich in interest and -suggestiveness. The American officer is a person of undoubted social position and •unblemished personal reputation, and his main object is not to secure belief in the reality of any ‘phenomena,’ not to win a barren reputation for himself as a thaumaturgist or wonder-worker, but to win acceptance for one of the oldest philosophies of nature and human life — a philosophy to which of late years the thinkers of the West have been turning with noteworthy curiosity and interest. Of course, should the genuineness of the phenomena in question be satisfactorily established, there would undoubtedly be proof that the Eastern sages to whom Colonel Olcott bears witness do possess a knowledge of the laws of the physical universe far wider and more intimate than that which has been laboriously acquired by the inductive science of the West ; but the theosophy expounded in this volume is at once a theology, a metaphysic, and a sociology, in which mere marvels, as such, occupy a quite subordinate and unimportant position. We cannot now discuss its claims and we will not pronounce any opinion upon them ; we will only say that Colonel Olcott’s volume deserves and will repay the study of all readers for w hom the byeways of speculation have an irresistible charm.” — Manchester Examiner.
