HE remarks under this head are intended to be introductory to each of the Manuals. First, as to the spirit in which they are oi feted. These Manuals are not written in a controversial spirit, nor as an addition to the stock of theories awaiting public approval. The writers have no time to waste in arguing with people who do not wish to be convinced, or who ridicule everything which is new to their limited outlook. Their message is for those who desire to know those who are seeking for something that will solve their doubts and remove their difiiculties.

People realize, much more now than in the early days of the Theosophical Society, the value of Theosophy.
