Arthur E. Powell

Powell's most important contribution to Theosophical literature was a series of books in which he compiled materials drawn from several previous authors.

One recent reviewer wrote:

Arthur E. Powell has sifted right through the collected works of Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant, with minor additions from other authors, including H.P. Bavatsky and A.P. Sinnett, and produced very readable, understandable and comprehensive books about the etheric body, the astral body, the mental body, the causal body, the ego, and the esoteric solar system...
