Some American Lectures

Some American Lectures is a book written by Annie Besant, a British writer and social reformer who was active in the late 19th and early 20th century. The book is a collection of lectures that Besant delivered during her travels to the United States in 1893 and 1894. The lectures cover a wide range of topics, including theosophy, spiritualism, the role of women in society, and the importance of education. Besant was a prominent member of the Theosophical Society, a spiritual movement that sought to promote a universal brotherhood of humanity, and many of her lectures explore theosophical ideas and principles. The book also includes a lecture on the life and teachings of the Indian spiritual leader, Jiddu Krishnamurti, whom Besant had discovered and proclaimed as the future World Teacher. Overall, Some American Lectures provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and spiritual landscape of the late 19th century, as well as the life and work of one of its most influential figures.To Members Of The American Theosophical Society During The Annual Convention In Chicago, 1926.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
