Theosophical History

January 1988, p. 142 "Mars - Introduction" 
by Leslie Price
January 1988, pp. 143-148 "Mars & Its Inhabitants" 
by C.W. Leadbeater 
[reprinted from CWL's 
THE INNER LIFE]

I believe that when Quest Books published
an abridgement of THE INNER LIFE, the editor
deleted CWL's account about Mars. This is from
memory so I could be wrong.

Interested readers can see that account on the
following webpage:
