	...		{{Style P-No indent\|to his old friends and surroundings, apologising for having even thought of doing different from themselves,” ''&e. (Address delivered at Bombay, 23rd March, ''1879.)}}

			I come to another palpable misrepresentation by J. K. He here Bays, “I am opposed to the Theosophical Society because I cannot allow the members of it to be equal to ''their pretentions. . . . The Theosophists pretend to teach: ''I really teach. ''They pretend to know: ''I really know,” &c. (the italics are mine.) Hear Col. Olcott again, “We are . . . simply ''investigators'' of earnest purpose and unbiassed mind, who study all things, prove all things, and hold fast to that which is good.” “We seek, inquire, reject nothing without cause, accept nothing without proof, ''we are students, not teachers” Inaugural Address, October, ''1875. (Earlier in his letter, J. K. says, “Should a number of ordinary men combine and call themselves a college of science, they cannot impose thereby upon an actual man of science. ''That is the position of the Theosophical Society ''Take yet another case. When J. K. reproved me for saying that we were already familiar with the principles he had laid down, on the ground that “to know is to be,” he must have been perfectly well aware that I was not writing in that sense, but in the more usual one, and he profaned a deep and mystic truth for the purpose of misrepresenting me. We may read books and receive instructions, and in that sense be “perfectly familiar” with what is said (“''know,''”'' by ''the by, was ''not ''my word, the confusion of the two expressions is J. K.’s own) without asserting a regenerate union with truth, the knowledge which is being.

			I believe I have now sufficiently exposed the tissue of misstatements by which J. K. has endeavoured to impart to others his own prejudice against the Theosophical Society. Nor should I have expended all this time and paper upon him, were it not that he has undoubtedly some true theoretical knowledge, most of which, or the most important part of which, I recognise as identical with what I and many others have learned to believed. But he cannot be allowed, unchecked, to represent that theoretical wisdom as an exclusive revelation, and to stigmatise as false and ignorant impostors all who have dared to learn it from others than themself. Of his more lofty pretentions, though you, sir, appear to admit them (since you constantly refer to him as “the adept”) we have no evidence whatever beyond his own assurance.

			[Will J. K. be kind enough to let the controversy end here?]

+Sir,—The Spiritualist for some weeks past has been filled with assertions, speculations and opinions on adepts and adeptship, and on the school of Theosophists said to be in correspondence with these adepts.
-{{Style S-HPB SB. Continues on|11-173}}
+You, sir, appear to be entirely sceptical in the matter, and although your opinions on the subject are somewhat deficient in reverence and stability, they are yet expressed with a freedom and confidence which has occasionally called forth in myself a good deal of not ill-natured laughter.
