OVER the years readers of THE THEOSOPHIST in many parts of the world have expressed their appreciation of the Watch-Tower Notes written by the President of the Theosophical Society, Mr. N. Sri Ram. His comments on contemporary life, together with his observations concerning matters that are significant to the Theosophical world in general, appear monthly in the Society's magazine. There is abundant evidence that many who read that journal have found the Watch-Tower Notes a source of enlightenment and inspiration. Through his editorial pen Mr. Sri Ram shares his deep perception and practical application of the simple principles underlying many of the complex matters that man is faced with today.
The records of the Theosophical Publishing House reveal that a relatively small proportion of the total membership of the Theosophical Society subscribe to its international journal. Consequently it has often been thought that a useful purpose would be served by collecting the major portion of the Watch-Tower Notes into a single volume, arranging the essays in some convenient form that would enhance their readability, and render them more readily available as a source of reference for those so inclined.
With the present volume this task has been assumed and splendidly performed by Miss Elithe Nisewanger, who, throughout the President's term of office, has been Mr. Sri Ram's private secretary. A glance at the contents page of the book reveals that the material has been carefully disposed, with related subjects grouped in the thirty-seven different sections. Within each of the sections the Notes appear sequentially, the earlier preceding the later writings. Each has a foot-note giving the date of its appearance in THE THEO-SOPHIST. There is also an index of titles listing them in alphabetical order.
Students of Theosophy have here a treasury of significant comment, and even casual enquirers will certainly find the Notes fascinating reading. Its com-piler, as well as those who assisted her, are to be congratulated upon the success of their venture.
