This, as you say, is something you "believe."  Why?

Have all the references to KOSMIC been changed to COSMIC?  I do
not (yet) have the 1888 edition to make my own comparison, and time
and energy is short - I am disabled with osteo-arthritis, which is
debilitating, to say the least.

Does HPB make it clear (in the 1888 edition) that she uses the different
spelling in different contexts?  Can you quote (rather than give the
reference)?
