MAHATMA PAPERS. Vols. I-III. 'The Mahatma Letters', consisting mainly of letters on occult subjects addressed to A. P. Sinnett, purporting to come from the Mahatmas Koot Hoomi Lal Singh and Morya; 1880-1886, n.d. With these are notes and letters of Sinnett and other theosophists and spiritualists, Western and Indian, including William Stainton Moses, Allan Octavian Hume, and the cofounders of the Theosophical Society, Col. Henry Steel Olcott and Madame Blavatsky. The Mahatma authorship and penmanship are disputed by H. E. and W. L. Hare, Who Wrote the Mahatma Letters?, 1936, who argue that the whole series is a fabrication by Madame Blavatsky, and their verdict is accepted by G. M. Williams, High Priestess of the Occult, New York, 1946, p. 165. This has since been challenged by Vernon Harrison in H.P. Blavatsky and the SPR: an Examination of the Hodgson Report of 1885 (Pasadena, 1997).
