Dr Joseph Rodes Buchanan (11
December 1814 -

“We heartily commend this able

Introduction.
The signal failure
of educational systems to elevate the social condition of mankind, and the
development of the higher intelligence and wiser philanthropy which demand
something better, make the present eminently the proper time for a fundamental
change.

The book “Moral Education: Its Laws and Methods”,
1882 edition, was published in the associated websites on 18 August 2019.
In the opening of her
book “Isis Unveiled”, H.P. Blavatsky
quotes these words from Joseph Rodes Buchanan: “My life has been devoted to the study of man, his destiny and his
happiness” (see p. IX).
Blavatsky refers to
Buchanan a number of times in “Isis Unveiled, Volume I”. See
for instance pages 54, 63-64, 86-87, 182, 330, 332, 462-463 and 500. Other
references to Buchanan’s writings will be found at the “Collected Writings” of H.P. Blavatsky, TPH, volume XV, p. 85.
