I'm glad to see that there is still an interest in this, IMO,
completely
fascinating subject.

Many of these books are now being reprinted by specialty publishers.

Some of the Pryse books, of both Pryse brothers, are being reprinted
by Health Research, P.O. Box 850, Pomeroy, WA 99347. They have a web
page also, but I don't have it before me now.

Also Kessinger Publishing ( www.kessinger.net ) has most of these and
many other books by various Theosophical writers, including HPB, and I
like their binding style better than that of Health Research.

Check them both out

Of the 19th and early 20th century works that Blavatsky seems to be
anticipating, I suggest that you look at Samuel Fales Dunlap’s The
Ghebers of Hebron (1894, 1898). Though the book is now little known
and
difficult reading, I believe that it is one of the most important
esoteric works of the period. For Theosophically influenced works
with
a psychic spin, I think that James Pryse’s writings are very
important:
The Sermon on the Mount, New York: Elliott B. Page, 1999; The Magical
Message According to Ioannes, New York: Theosophical Publishing
Company,
1909; The Apocalypse Unsealed Being an Esoteric Interpretation of The
Initiation of Ioannes, New York: John M. Pryse, 1909; Reincarnation in
the New Testament, New York: Theosophical Publishing Company, 1911;
The
Restored New Testament, New York: John M. Pryse, 1916. Pryse, like
HPB,
favors the Hellenic origin of Christian esotericism, as opposed to the
Jewish.
