I'm very proud to announce the publication
at BAO of the first installement of:

Memorable Recollections from the
Life of the Author of the "Lotusblüten."
[Denkwürdige Erinnerungen aus dem
Leben des Verfassers der "Lotusblüten."]
by Franz Hartmann, M.D.
Translation from the German
by Robert Hütwohl.

>From Robert Hütwohl's Introduction:

"My intention with this translation is to complete
that part of the series which deals with his stay
at Adyar relating the teachings of H. P. Blavatsky,
the occult phenomena going on there and the
events leading up to the end of the Coulomb affair,
the arrival of The Society for Psychical Research
and its investigation of the "occult shrine" and the
rejoicing of the Christian missionaries over the
ensuing results. (I am convinced the unkind motivations
of the Christian missionary's efforts to undermine the
Theosophical Society in India led to Hartmann's
efforts in Germany to spend some time writing
articles and delivering lectures about true Christianity
prior to its early demise at the hands of the Christian
church.) We then pass on in a future translation
installment to that period when H. P. Blavatsky
left Adyar for good. . . ."

Future installements of this series of articles will
be published at BAO.

I want to personally thank Robert Hütwohl for
all his hard work in translating and making this
series of articles available to the reading public.

I also want to take this opportunity to mention
a recently published booklet titled "Some Fragments
of the Secret History of the Theosophical Society,"
by The "Chairman of the Board of Control of 1884"
[Franz Hartmann, M.D.] This booklet has an introduction
by Mr. Hütwohl and is published in the series "Theosophical
History Occasional Papers."

The editor of the series, Dr. James Santucci, may be
contacted for orders at jsantucci@fullerton.edu
