Notes

In writing The Story of Atlantis (1896) and The Lost Lemuria (1904), Theosophist W. Scott-Elliot (born W. Williamson, although some maintain it was a pseudonym of C.W. Leadbeater) combined Donnelly’s scientific arguments and Blavatsky’s esoteric facts with Leadbeater’s clairvoyant investigations.

These two volumes were first combined in 1925, while this edition is a reprint of the 1962 revised edition. It includes six fold-out maps, four of Atlantis, “at its prime,” “in its decadence,” of “Ruta & Daitya” and “Poseidonis,” and two of Lemuria, “at its greatest extent” and “at a later period.” (For another map of Atlantis, see Vera Stanley Alder (1939), The Initiation of the World.)
