The Last Days of the President-Founder and Mrs. Besant's Presidential Address is a book written by Annie Besant, a prominent Theosophist and social reformer of the early 20th century. The book is a collection of two speeches given by Besant, one of which is her presidential address to the Theosophical Society in 1933, and the other is a eulogy for the society's founder, Colonel Henry Steel Olcott, who passed away in 1907. Besant's presidential address reflects on the state of the Theosophical Society and its mission, emphasizing the importance of spiritual growth and the pursuit of truth. She also discusses the challenges facing the society at the time, including the rise of fascism and the threat of war. The second speech, Besant's eulogy for Olcott, pays tribute to the founder's life and work, highlighting his contributions to the Theosophical Society and his commitment to social justice and reform. Besant also reflects on her own relationship with Olcott and the impact he had on her life and career. Overall, The Last Days of the President-Founder and Mrs. Besant's Presidential Address provides a fascinating insight into the world of Theosophy and the life and work of two of its most influential figures. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of spirituality and social reform in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
