Publisher's Synopsis
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891) was a scholar of ancient wisdom literature who co-established a research and publishing institute called the Theosophical Society "to form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color." Alice Leighton Cleather and Basil Crump were two of Blavatsky's most staunch defenders against attacks by Alfred Percy Sinnett (1840-1921) and others.
