Writings by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Abridgment of H.P. Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine
compiled by Katharine Hillard
The Editor of this abridgement has long felt the need of a shorter, simpler version of the Secret Doctrine. The wealth of material gave rise to endless digressions wherein the thread of the subject is often lost for whole chapters. Fifteen years' study has enabled the Editor to trace the thread of the argument far more clearly than at first, and have cut out obsolete science. All Sanskrit terms have been put into English, and the triune constitution of man (body, soul and spirit) adopted wherever possible instead of the more complicated seven-fold division. There has been nothing added to the text, except a few notes and 1 or 2 diagrams, all marked "Ed." Part 1 Cosmogenesis; Part 2 Anthropogenesis.

Evolution as Outlined in the Archaic Eastern Records
compiled and abridged from "The Secret Doctrine"
by Basil Crump
Due to the interest in evolution, the author has attempted to condense the comprehensive system outlined in Blavatsky's "The Secret Doctrine" by reducing its bulkiness and obtrusiveness. This evolutionary scheme is contained in a relatively small number of stanzas from the Archaic Records, which he has translated herein with full explanatory commentaries, and a large number of material from both Eastern and Western sources

Nightmare Tales
The world knows H.P. Blavatsky chiefly by her encyclopedic knowledge, her occult powers, her unique courage.

The Nightmare Tales were rewritten during the last few months of the author's pain-stricken life: when tired with the drudgery of the Theosophical Glossary she, who could not be idle, turned to this lighter work and found therein amusement and relaxation. Her friends, all the world over, will welcome this example of gifts used but too rarely amid the strain of weightier work.

Did Madame Blavatsky Forge the Mahatma Letters
by C. Jinarajadasa
The general impression which remains in the minds of many of the public is that H.P. Blavatsky invented the Mahatmas, and that she buttressed this invention with various forms of impersonation and trickery, including among them the concocting of letters in various handwritings supposed to be written by the Adepts. Jinarajadasa explains and presents the evidence from several sources that indeed the Mahatma letters were NOT forgeries.
