Excerpt from The Elements of Theosophy
During the last few years there has been an increasing need for some book that would give a fairly comprehensive outline of the nature and aims of the Theosophical Society, and of what are commonly called the "Theosophical Teachings," and would at the same time be sufficiently simple and free from Sanskrit terms to be easily readable by those who are only just beginning to study Theosophy. It is in consequence of this need, and in response to the request of many members in Australia, that this work has been undertaken. It is a very difficult task to reduce the "Theosophical Teachings" to a form that would be readable by the average enquirer, as many of the ideas may be unfamiliar, and portions of the subject are in themselves abstruse and metaphysical. I have tried, however, to avoid the most difficult points, and have used but very few Sanskrit terms.
