Dr. Tillett did an excellent survey of the deletions made in the various
editions of CWL's books. It was originally published in Theosophical
History. Dr. Algeo wrote a rejoinder in the American Theosophist where
he proposed publishing two sets of Theosophical books: One set would be
as they are now. The other, would be very expensive reprints of the
originals for scholars, except they would be annotated with explanations
as to why the material was deleted in the popular editions. Dr.
Tillett's article was reprinted (with his permission) in the second
issue of the now apparently defunct "ACT Newsletter." I have extra
copies of the first and second issues here, and will send them to anyone
interested. But please re-imburse me for the postage if you are
interested in having them.

The Inner Life definitely has the loony Mars material deleted. But
I recall at least one more title by CWL being discussed in the past
on theos-l or theos-talk, maybe Masters and the Path, as an example
of editorial dishonesty. Perhaps someone else here has a better
memory than mine.
