My opinion on this is books should be printed exactly as they 
originally appeared without abridgement. For printing largest edition 
of the book should be taken. e.g. Masters and the Path was enlarged by 
Mr. Leadbeater himself and so for printing this largest edition should 
be taken. Only spelling may be changed to suit current US English. 
e.g. realisation (old British) would become realization. I am totally 
against making more changes. 
For making study course also original books of Annie Besant and 
Leadbeater, written in their own language, should be recommended. Not 
only English of AB and CWL is among the best even by today's standard 
but there are occult reasons for recommending their original writing.
