|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.
