The “spirits” could not resist this appeal and soon showed up. After several forms had appeared, one was embraced by a Dr. Collins, who may be for aught we know the mysterious “Tom Collins,” but whoever he is he did his work well and was ably assisted by others. For further particulars we refer the reader to the account of Mr. Sammis as published in another column. | The “spirits” could not resist this appeal and soon showed up.

{{Style P-No indent|If we may judge from the great demand in Bengal for the new work, called “Esoteric Theosophy,” we see promising signs that the science is likely to gain some footing, and make some progress among the educated classes of the Bengali community. It is to be hoped that the interest created in the movement by the recent visit of Madame Blavatsky and Colonel Olcott to Calcutta will not die away with their departure for the Southern Presidency. Whether it be called Theosophy or after any other name, what we want to see is that the study of our ancient science, philosophy, and ''shastras'' should be earnestly taken up, and diligently pursued by our educated countrymen in every part of India. Unfortunately, and certainly not to the credit of our patriotism, these studies, which would have unearthed and revealed to the world the hidden wisdom and lore of our ancestors, have been generally neglected and cultivated to a very limited extent. Madame Blavatsky and Colonel Olcott neither teach, nor profess to teach us anything new. What entitles them to our respect and confidence, is that they have devoted themselves to the disinterested duty of awakening in us an intelligent curiosity to explore our ancient literature, to study our neglected ''shastras'', and to make researches into our old systems of science and philosophy. It is evidently their impression, which we are disposed to share, that the germs of many modern discoveries and inventions, which are taking the world with surprise, and are likely still to take it with greater surprise, are to be found in the many works, which our forefathers have left behind for the benefit of an ungrateful posterity.}} | {{Style P-No indent|If we may judge from the great demand in Bengal for the new work, called “Esoteric Theosophy,” we see promising signs that the science is likely to gain some footing, and make some progress among the educated classes of the Bengali community.
