Extrait : "Seize ans et demi se sont écoulés depuis qu'Héléna Petrovna Blavatsky a quitté ce monde mortel. On continue néanmoins à attaquer sa véracité, sa réputation ; des gens honnêtes, des personnes sympathiques se détournent encore de la Société théosophique en disant : Nous ne tenons pas à en faire partie ; elle a été fondée par Mme Blavatsky, qui fut convaincue de fraude par la Société des Recherches psychiques...."
