The late Dallas TenBroeck once wrote on Theos-Talk:
=========================================================
In U.L.T. I don't have to worry -- the originals are available on a
reliable basis . . . . Personally I would rather deal with
H.P.Blavatsky's 'mistakes' than with those created by others who have
had the temerity to believe they knew better than she did, and had
the audacity to introduce changes which she did not authorize. . . .
=========================================================
I have already given detailed evidence and specific examples showing
that the Theosophy Company's edition THE VOICE OF THE SILENCE has
been EDITED with many resulting changes. See:

Carlos Aveline's 3 replies to my postings of this information are
brief, vague and basically ignore the detailed evidence. See
his "replies" at:

I would say that if one calls the editing of the 1893 edition
of THE SECRET DOCTRINE a good example of "tampering" then I would say
that the TC edition of HPB's VOICE falls into that SAME category
of "tampering".
One need only look at a number of examples in both books to see that
the same kind of editing has been done.
Also consider the following:
Is there a note in the 1893 edition of THE SECRET DOCTRINE that tells
or warns the reader that editing and editorial correcting, etc. has
been done?
Is there a similar note in the Theosophy Company's edition of HPB's
VOICE OF THE SILENCE telling or warning the reader that editing and
editorial correcting of HPB's text has been done?
