|description=English journalist, author and prominent early Theosophist. Editor of the Hong Kong Daily Press (1865–1868) and of the Anglo-Indian newspaper The Pioneer in Allahabad (1872–1883). He and his wife Patience met H. P. Blavatsky and H. S. Olcott at Allahabad in December 1879 and joined the Theosophical Society that same month. From 1880 he carried on an extensive correspondence with the Mahatmas Koot Hoomi and Morya, later published as ''The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett'' (1923). His own books ''The Occult World'' (1881) and ''Esoteric Buddhism'' (1883) did much to popularize Theosophy in the West. He served for many years as president of the London Lodge of the Theosophical Society. | |description=English journalist, author and prominent early Theosophist.
