The New Cagliostro: An Open Letter to Madame Blavatsky
Author: Foote, G. W.
Title: The New Cagliostro: An Open Letter to Madame Blavatsky
Publication: London: Progressive Publishing Company, 1889
Edition: First Edition
Description: 12mo, 16 pages, with the title page and final page serving as the wrappers, reinforced with a new white cloth spine. This scarce 16-page pamphlet is a sharply polemical contribution to the late-Victorian controversies surrounding Helena P. Blavatsky and the Theosophical movement. Written from a secularist and freethought perspective, it challenges Blavatsky’s claims and reputation, examines the Coulomb affair and the Society for Psychical Research investigation, and pointedly compares Blavatsky to the eighteenth-century occultist and adventurer Cagliostro. An uncommon primary source documenting the contentious public debates surrounding Theosophy, Victorian occultism, freethought, Blavatsky, and Annie Besant. A few creases and small tears, occasional underlining, else in very good condition.
