Originally intended as an appendix to an early draft of The Secret Doctrine. It remained unpublished during [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s lifetime and appeared in the posthumous third volume in 1897, pp. 241–257. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] distinguishes that publication from the third volume planned by Blavatsky herself. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Ancient Magic in Modern Science#104|BCW 7:104]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Theories About Reincarnation and Spirits#190|BCW 7:190-191]]</span>)</span>  +
Much of the text consists of extracts from Isis Unveiled. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] dates its preparation approximately to early 1884, partly on the basis of its discussion of G. Wyld’s letter in Light of 21 July 1883. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Elementals#184|BCW 6:184-186]]</span>)</span>  +
Notes on several subjects, published in Lucifer in August 1896. On the basis of parallels with Isis Unveiled and the early Secret Doctrine manuscript, [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] tentatively dates them to 1885–1886. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Fragments#272|BCW 7:272]]</span>)</span>  +

[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] dates its composition to the autumn of 1885 at Würzburg. In an undated letter to [[Sinnett, Alfred Percy|A. P. Sinnett]], tentatively assigned by [[Neff, Mary Katherine|M. Neff]] to November 1885, [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] said that she had sent the article to [[Chatterji, Mohini Mohun|M. M. Chatterji]] for correction. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Have Animals Souls#12|BCW 7:12]]</span>)</span>  +
