Editor's notes
- ↑ The Salvation Army by unknown author (signed as G. W., M.D.), Light, v. 2, No. 72, May 20, 1882, p. 239. The exact issue confirms the complete letter, title, subtitle, signature and printed page. The writer describes two Salvation Army meetings at the Oxford Circus Rooms, compares the officers' religious experience with mediumship and warns that abrupt conversions may not endure.
- ↑ The Effects of Theosophy in India by Henry S. Olcott (signed as Henry S. Olcott, President of the Theosophical Society), Standalone Theosophical Society Headquarters circular, Bombay, June 1, 1882. This is a second physical mounted copy of the same circular catalogued on scrapbook page 135, not a new textual work. Olcott asks the presidents of Hindu branches to answer four allegations in the May issue of The Arya. The exact July 1882 reprint in the Extra Supplement to The Theosophist, p. 10, supplies the editorial title used here.
- ↑ Our readers will find in another column a communication… by unknown author, St. Croix Avis, Christiansted, St. Croix, Saturday, March 11, 1882, scan p. 2. The exact complete issue confirms this untitled editorial notice immediately above the letter by Axel Emil Valdemar Schou. It introduces Schou's account of a cure by C. E. Taylor and declares the newspaper's discussion of Taylor's merits and demerits closed. The mounted masthead reads The “Avis”.
- ↑ It is with great regret that I have noticed… by Schou, Axel Emil Valdemar, St. Croix Avis, Christiansted, St. Croix, Saturday, March 11, 1882, scan p. 2. The exact complete issue confirms the full letter and signature. Schou defends C. E. Taylor against recent attacks and gives a testimonial describing his recovery from paralysis after treatment by vital magnetism. Charles E. Taylor later reproduced the testimonial in Banner of Light, v. 51, No. 20, August 5, 1882, p. 5.
