			<blockquote>
			The viewpoints in the early volumes of ''Notes'' consistently reflected the Endersby's thirty-year dedication to the U.L.T. ideals... The early volumes adhered to the tradition of anonymity. The only hint of authorship was a Berkeley post office return address. That does not mean that the "Editors" identities were unknown; rather, it was sort of an open secret. Articles in ''Notes'' covered everything from early Theosophical history to current politics, but every subject was tied to a Theosophical application.<ref>Hejka-Ekins, 134.</ref>
			</blockquote>

			Among the subjects that especially interested Endersby was refuting Neo-theosophy; misuse of authority in Theosophical organizations; attempts to unify the Theosophical Movement; debunking rumors; opposition to wars, McCarthyism, and social injustices. In the 1960s he added articles about space probes, plate tectonics, and ancient civilizations. From 1961 to 1969 he produced a biography of Madame Blavatsky "serially in special issues separate from the magazine," that was published in book form as ''The Hall of Magic Mirrors.''<ref>Hejka-Ekins, 145-146.</ref>
