... mispellings and mis-translations......
As I understand it, you would like these corrected (so for e.g., as you see
it, scholars may take Theosophy seriously), but do you, when making these
corrections, also consider the "numerical value of the letters composing the
word... &c. &c." referred to in the Subba Row quote?  To just look at the
spelling on its own is only one aspect, whereas there are many others to
consider.  Once the spelling is altered, the numerical values, &c., &c.
change.
