This little text is fairly self explanatory. Written by Besant, it encourages increased self control and self awareness, as a method to ascend spiritually and mentally, and speaks a bit about karma and the different planes of existence past the physical world.

This slightly odd text is another edition by Reuben Clymer, and proposes primarily that through proper practices (and preferably initiation into the "illuminati"!) life spans can be drastically expanded and mortality itself inevitably defeated. In one interesting turn, the kind of diet and lifestyle Clymer proposes for treating tuberculosis (consumption) would actually have been of use- much of the population was living on nothing more than bread and beer, and his proposed intake of food revolved around vegetables, which would have nourished the body substantially more.
Clymer actively predicts a coming era in which a combination of science and spiritual rigor will abolish death once and for all.

This short booklet is filled with interesting Jewish folklore. Almost all of it involves Rabbinical councils condemning God for contradictions in Torah law, sometimes to the point of "suing" their deity on behalf of aggrieved plaintiffs (it isn't certain how they are reimbursed by the losing party!) A slightly humorous depiction of the Jewish god ensues, and on one occasion, even death itself is bested.

This work is a categorical refutation of Theosophy and its practices from the background of fire and brimstone early 20th century Christian rigor. At times, the specific arguments made are hilarious (that Theosophy causes demon possession via spiritualism- despite seances and the like being generally and repeatedly debunked in both the contemporary and latter sense.) Some of the other arguments make more sense, and it's important to provide a critical counter-balance since I have edited several dozen works by Theosophists themselves. It is half-jokingly dedicated to someone I debated recently, who hates Theosophy but is also a socialist/communist (they are fundamentally the same) even though works like this often attacked Theosophy as well, but also because it was in part derived at times from socialist rhetoric by the likes of Annie besant.
