Excerpt from An Abridgment by Katharine Hillard of the Secret Doctrine: A Synthesis of Science, Religion and Philosophy; In Two Parts; Part I. Cosmogenesis; Part II. Anthropogenesis

The Editor of this Abridgment has long felt the need of a shorter, a simpler and a less expensive version of the Secret Doctrine. The wealth of ma terial that embarrassed the author of the book or perhaps we should say the transcriber - gave rise to endless digressions wherein the thread of the subject is often lost for whole chapters, while many quotations, comprehensible only to special students, increase the bulk of the volumes, and add to the difficulty of understanding their contents. Many foreign idioms (notably the use of the word actual in the sense of present) and frequent mis prints make the meaning of the text still more oh scure, and the many and complicated parentheses add to the labor of the reader. The enormous length of the book makes it so expensive that compara tively few students can afford to buy it, and the most valuable legacy of theosophic information yet given to the world is thus unavailable to many of those who most need it.
