Synopsis

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

The following pages contain a re-publication of the bulk of the numerous Lectures delivered in India and Ceylon by Col. H.S. Olcott, the Pregident of the Theosophical Society, since his arrival in this country in 1879. Th Sintense interest evoked by the delivery of these Lectures, and the oft expressed wishes of many friends, students, and members of the Society have induced the publisher to bring out the present collection. It was, however, his original intention to have prefaced the work by a short treatise on Occultism, and to have appended certain explanatory foot notes to certain portions of the Lectures, as well as to have added a catechism of the ancient Brahmanic Faith. Such a publication has, indeed, been advertised for some months past; but, in consequence of certain unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, it has been impossible to fulfil tha.t programme. As, moreover, subscribers to the Lectures are growing impatient, and the Lectures themselves have been ready for sometime, the publisher begs to present this publication as a sort of first instalment, so to speak, of the work originally advertised; and hopes, before very long, to be able to bring out the treatise on Occultism and the catechism already mentioned theie two forming a complete volume. It must be added that the present re-print of his Lectures has been submitted to and revised by Col, H.S. Olcott, who has been so kind as to permit this work to be published under the auspices of the Theosophical Society. Madras, A.T, February 1883.
