The renowned lawyer and journalist Henry Steel Olcott (1832 1907)
published this work in 1885. In this work Olcott carefully lays out
his arguments for the basis of theosophy, arguing for the truth of
all religions because they share the same ancient roots or
'ur-religion'. As a founding member and the first president of the
Theosophical Society, Olcott uses the work to set out the aims and
objectives of the Society and attempts to reconcile his spiritual
beliefs with science, reason and modernity. The work also includes
accounts of his attempted empirical investigations into hypnotism,
mesmerism and other spiritualist activities. The final chapters
include discussions of India, Buddhism and Zoroastrian religion.
The work was deeply influenced by Helena Blavatsky (1831 1891),
then Olcott's close friend but later his opponent. It is a key text
of the nineteenth-century theosophical movement and is an
indispensable source for research into Victorian occult philosophy.
