Excerpt from Nature and Aim of Theosophy: An Essay (1889)
The following essay was first published nearly four years ago, and has been for some time out of print; but as there is still considerable inquiry for it, which its publishers are unable to meet, it has been thought best to issue a new edition, and in an improved form.
Since the first appearance of The Nature and Aim of Theosophy, as an unpretentious pamphlet, a very large amount of literature on the subject has been given to the public. The demand for information on the subject of Theosophy has given rise to two monthly magazines devoted to such explanations as are sought, and for communication between the society at large and its members scattered through many lands. In London "Lucifer," the "Light bearer," and in New York "The Path," are devoted to this purpose, while the "Theosophist" is still published at Adyar, India, as the organ of the society in the East. The demand for literature on the subject is steadily on the increase, and the above-named journals are distributed quite as extensively outside as within the ranks of the society itself.
