Carl,
I am in Melbourne, my copies are not first editions, but they state
Isis Unveiled
"The present edition is a faithful reprinting of Isis Unveiled as originally published in New York in 1877."
and
The Secret Doctrine states
"Verbatim with the original edition,1888"
I have had them for over 30 years.

 1. I have tried to find the first editions of Blavatsky's books, but 
 I'm sorry to say that nether in the Pasadena- or the Adyar societies 
 libraries here, nor in any public libraries (like the Victorian Stat 
 Library, or any University library) here in Melbourne, have I funded 
 any copies. And hence my private copies are in Sweden, I have not 
 been able to do any comparing between those and the TC editions. 
 
 I'm truly sorry for this.
 
 But if any Melbournian or Victorian, read this and have private 
 copies and are able to borrow them to me for a couple of day, I will 
 be most happy to compare, and post the results here.
 
 2. The copy of the EST Book of Rule that I have talked about here 
 previous concerning EST vs. GD (see 
 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/37329),
 is a photocopy of an original, which is in the Archives of Dr. Erik 
 Bogren of Helsingborg, Sweden. This archive is in the University 
 Library in Lund, Sweden. Dr. Bogren was president of the UB Lodge in 
 Helsingborg, and also the president of the EST Lodge of this city. 
 He was the editor of the UB-magazine "Det Nya Seklet". This Swedish 
 translation was printed in Stockholm 1931.
