The present volume features The Esoteric Character of the Gospels, The Roots of Ritualism in Church and Masonry, written by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky; and The Letters of Johann Caspar Lavater to the Empress Maria Feodorovna, translated and annotated by Blavatsky. We have also chosen to include an appendix, for the reader's convenience, containing selected correspondence and articles that Blavatsky recommended reading to understand better her discussion on the gospels and ritualism: The Soldier's Daughter by Rev. T.G. Headley (?); Are the Teachings Ascribed to Jesus Contradictory by Gerald Massey (1828-1907); The Signs of Time and Is Theosophy a Religion by H.P. Blavatsky.
