Now WISDOM WORLD ( http://www.wisdomworld.org/ ) has published 2 articles
from THEOSOPHY magazine (June and July 1927 issues) in which the writers
also challenge some of Mr. Mead's statements.  The links for these two
articles are given below:

THE RISING CYCLE

"G. R. S. MEAD, once one of the well known minor figures in the making of
theosophical history, has contributed a signed article to the May, 1927,
Occult Review, in which he discusses "Facts about 'The Secret Doctrine'."

Mr. Mead's statements fall naturally into several divisions: (a) what he has
to say about the "Third and Revised Edition;" (b) in regard to the so-called
"Third Volume;" (c) about the missing genuine Third and Fourth Volumes; (d)
his remarks on H. P. Blavatsky; and (e) his remarks on Wm. Q. Judge. In this
article we shall deal with his "facts" in connection with "The Secret
Doctrine." . . . . "
