Carlos,
Can you tell us which chapter in 'The Esoteric World of Madame
Blavatsky' you find objectional ? I read it many years back but can
not recall that much. However, the book is online (no page numbers),
so I can check again.
Caldwell and Algeo are merely trying to document history in their own
way. I don't find it very interesting but they seem to be respectful
in their material. In fact the website descibes Daniel as 'a vigorous
Blavatsky advocate'.
I don't know of any theosophist who takes the Coulomb allegations
seriously these days. I have not read the Solovyoff letters.
Regards,
Dave
