T. J. L. S. Boyd [Thomas Jamieson Laycock Stirling Boyd] (1886-1973), Chief Justice of Sarawak, 1930-1939 [ William Henderson-Begg (1878-1934); Theosophy; Theosophical ]

On letterhead of 6 Magdala Place, Edinburgh. 25 November 1913.

5pp., 4to. In good condition, on aged paper, with rust stains from paperclip. He begins by stating that he was 'an interested listener of your lecture against Theosophy yesterday afternoon, and as you were kind enough to invite questions I venture to make one or two criticisms which occurred to me'. The main purpose of the recipient's lecture, it seems to Boyd, is 'to demonstrate that Theosophy is incompatible with Christianity'. He proceeds opposes this strenuously, with reference to reincarnation and Kant.
