Note 23 — The Truth about the E. S. Council, and the Inner Group.
Reading edition
It is only fair to give Mrs. Tingley's Organisation credit for the good work it is doing in publishing accurate reprints of H. P. B.'s works with all the references carefully checked, but none of her own writing tampered with. Now that the 1888 edition of The Secret Doctrine is so scarce, students will be glad to know that an unaltered reprint can now be had instead of the Besant corruption. The reprint of Isis Unveiled, with the addition of an excellent Index, has long been wanted; and the original paging has been preserved, so that the Index also serves for the original edition. It is to be regretted that these reprints are prefaced by an account of the Theosophical Movement from Mrs. Tingley's point of view, which is inaccurate and misleading. However, this is easily removed.
