Excerpt from A Collection of Lectures on Theosophy and Archaic Religions: Delivered in India and Ceylon Tm: following pages contain a re-publication of' the bulk of the numerous Lectures delivered in India and Ceylon by 001. H. S. Olcott, the President of the Theosophical Society, since his arrival in this country in 1879. The intense interest evoked by the delivery of these Lectures, and the oft expressed wishes of many friends, students, and members of the Society have induced the publisher to bring out the present collection. It was, however, his original intention to have prefaced the work by a. Short treatise on Occultism, and to have appended certain explanatory foot notes to certain portions of the Lectures, as well as to have added a catechism of the ancient Brahmanic Faith. Such a publication has, indeed, been advertised for some months past but, in consequence of cer tain unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, it has been im possible to fulfil that programme. As, moreover, subscribers to the Lectures are growing impatient, and the Lectures themselves have been ready for sometime, the publisher begs to present this publica tion as a sort of first instalment, so to speak, of the work originally advertised and hopes, before very long, to be able to bring out the treatise on Occultism and the catechism already mentioned - thele two forming a complete volume.
