{{Style S-Small capitals|In}} the columns of No. 285 of your valuable paper, I have seen some editorial remarks upon the Theosophical Society of New York. In these strictures you lay considerable stress upon the fact that, with respect to some expected manifestations by Mr.-George H. Felt, the president of the society, in his opening address, held out hopes which have not been realised. | {{Style S-Small capitals|In}} the columns of No. 285 of your valuable paper, I have seen some editorial remarks upon the Theosophical Society of New York.

In ''The Spiritualist ''of December 27, 1877, there is a communication from Mr. Desmond G. Fitz-Gerald, M.S.Tel.E., purporting to criticise a statement of Col. H. S. Olcott, in regard to the views of the Theosophists. Somewhat of a lack of candour appears in the mode of rendering Col. Olcott’s language. When the attempt is made to state a man’s words in another form of speech, there should be care taken that the new expression be the precise equivalent of the other. One may make such a statement in a very plausible manner, ''ad captandum; ''but when he neglects this caution, he does nothing for the truth, but against it. Mr. Fitz-Gerald appears to me to have erred in this respect. “What Col. Olcott calls the 4 elementals,’” Mr. Fitz- Gerald remarks, “he calls also 4 the forces of nature,’— modern science calls ''modes of energy, ''and equates to m. h = m. ''v2''/''2f.”'' | In ''The Spiritualist ''of December 27, 1877, there is a communication from Mr. Desmond G. Fitz-Gerald, M.S.Tel.E., purporting to criticise a statement of Col. H. S.
