JUDGE R. B. WESTBROOK was for a time a Professor of Philology in a British University. He was made a Vice-President of the Society in 1877, and was much appreciated by H.P.B.; but nothing more was said of him.^[1]

His wife was also acquainted with Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, according to one of her letters.^[2]

In 1889 he published an article entitled "Reminiscences of Original American Theosophists".
