Henry Steel Olcott (1832 1907), co-founder of the Theosophical
Society, was a versatile man. He is regarded as one of the pioneers
of American agricultural education and also served in the U.S. War
Department. Later Olcott was admitted to the New York Bar and
became interested in psychology and spiritualism, travelling to
India and Sri Lanka with Madame Blavatsky to explore eastern
spiritual traditions, especially Buddhism. This volume (1895)
describes the first meeting between Olcott and Madame Blavatsky and
the founding of the Theosophical Society in 1875. Olcott continued
to practise as a lawyer (and supported the Society financially)
while in the evenings he and Madame Blavatsky would entertain
visitors or collaborate on the book Isis Unveiled. The author
portrays his friend as a spiritual medium and describes how Madame
Blavatsky's body was from time to time possessed by other
'entities'.
