Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ... to the contrary in my case, and, though I had to suffer for it at the time, I am glad to be able to show how my mistrusting the Master's word through H.P.B. was exceedingly unwise. Experience teaches one to be humble, for later knowledge proves the many errors in judgment we fall into during life, and in looking back over the years spent with H.P.B. I feel how much I lost by not understanding, or fully appreciating, her mission in life, as I do now. It is my one continual regret that I lost so much of that precious time by not comprehending either her position or my own. But when I first went to her I was a woman of the world, one who had been a petted child of fortune. Through my husband's political position I occupied a prominent place in society; it therefore took me a long time to realise the hollowness of what I had hitherto looked upon as being the most desirable objects in life, and it required much training and many a hard battle with myself before I could conquer the satisfaction in self which a life of idleness, ease, and high position is sure to engender. So much had to be " knocked out of me," to use one of H.P.B.'s own phrases, and it is with a feeling of intense gratitude that I look back on the past, and think of all she did for me, and how she rendered me a slightly better instrument for the work in the Theosophical Society which it is both my duty and my pleasure to perform. All who have known and loved H.P.B. have felt what a charm there was about her, how truly kind and loveable she was; at times such a bright childish nature seemed to beam around her, and a spirit of joyous fun would sparkle in her whole countenance, and cause the most winning expression that I have ever seen on a human face. One of the marvels of her...

Excerpt from Reminiscences of H. P. Blavatsky: And the Secret Doctrine This book has been written by several persons who had the advantage of being the most closely connected with Madame Blavatsky during her residence in Europe, while she was engaged in the great work of hey life - "The Secret Doctrine." It would be a difficult task to give full, detailed accounts of all the circumstances which occurred during the preparation of this remarkable work, because it must never be forgotten that H.P.B. was, as she often herself expressed it, only the compiler of the work. Behind her stood the real teachers, the guardians of the Secret Wisdom of the Ages, who taught her all the occult lore that she transmitted in writing. Her merit consisted partly in being able to assimilate the transcendental knowledge which was given out, in being a worthy messenger of her Masters, partly in her marvellous capability of rendering abstruse Eastern metaphysical thought in a form intelligible to Western minds, verifying and comparing Eastern Wisdom with Western Science. Much credit, also, is due to her for her great moral courage in representing to the world thoughts and theories wholly at variance with the materialistic Science of the present day. It will be understood with difficulty by many, that the much abused "phenomena" played an important part in the compilation of "The Secret Doctrine;" that H.P.B. very often received so-called precipitated messages, containing matter which later on became part of the book. As the world gains better comprehension of occult laws, many strange events will be understood, and the history of the Theosophical Society will be viewed in another light than that in which hitherto it has been seen.
