Jerry Hejka-Ekins, a long-time student of Madame Blavatsky's
teachings, has commented:
"The earliest use of the term 'neo-theosophy' was used by F.T. Brooks
around 1912 in a book called Neo Theosophy Exposed. . . . Around
1924, Margaret Thomas published a book called Theosophy Versus Neo-
Theosophy: Part one compares Blavatsky's teachings to those of Besant
and Leadbeater's by juxtaposing quotes from each party on various
subjects, so that the thoughtful reader could easily discern the
differences and contradictions. Part two published documents
concerning the Leadbeater scandal, and part three publishes documents
concerning the Judge case. . . . "
