The Coulomb Case by Michael Gomes vi + 73 pages ISBN 1-883279-10-0 (2005). The one event that was to leave a permanent stain upon the reputations of the Theosophical Society and of H.P. Blavatsky was the publication of an exposé in The Madras Christian College Magazine (September and October 1884) claiming fraud of the most serious proportion allegedly perpetrated by Madame Blavatsky. This publication brought into question the very existence of Blavatsky's Masters and the letters that they supposedly wrote to such individuals as A.P. Sinnett and A.O. Hume. This book recounts the story of Emma Coulomb's charge that Blavatsky faked the Mahatma letters; it also chronicles the investigation by the S.P.R. of the Theosophical Society's and Blavatsky's claims of communication with the Masters through its representative, Richard Hodgson. Original documents are reproduced to shed more light on this episode. $22.00 plus postage $2.00 for U.S. destinations and $4.00 overseas (airmail). $22.00 (£13.00; ?18.60) plus postage $2.00 (£1.20; ?1.70) for U.S. destinations and $4.00 (£2.40; ?3.40) overseas (airmail).
