Myers, Frederick, W. H., an English FTS of note. A number of questions raised by him in regard to some of the material that was appearing at that time in TS literature were answered at length in The Theosophist. It is intimated that some of these answers were dictated by the Adepts and that they seemed very anxious to answer his questions satisfactorily. Later he published a monumental work entitled The Human Personality and Its Survival of Physical Death, which is still referred to as a comprehensive study of the subject.ML [2]
