by Alice Leighton Cleather

This book is a protest written by one of H.P. Blavatsky's old 
students, who was a member of her Inner Group. It demonstrates as 
clearly as possible that the teachings promulgated for nearly twenty 
years by Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater of 
the Theosophical Society have departed more and more from H.P.B.'s, 
and are now their direct antithesis.

her death as it deals with the Society. Contents: messenger and the 
message, preliminary work in America; foundation of the universal 
brotherhood movement in India; master of wisdom and their chelas; 
great master on Buddhism and brotherhood; why the effort for India
