THE SECRET DOCTRINE.

This page is a half-title page. Faint impressions of the author's name (H. P. Blavatsky), subtitle (The Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy), and publication details (Volume III, London: Theosophical Publishing House) are visible due to the thinness of the paper.

The Secret Doctrine original: "The Secret Doctrine"; refers to the purported ancient, universal wisdom underlying all world religions and philosophies.
