Excerpt from A Buddhist Catechism
I have gone over the thirty-third (english) edition of the Catechism, with the help of interpreters, and confirm my recommendation for its use in Buddhist schools; the popularity of this little work is proved by the constant demand for new editions, in English and other languages. In looking over the matter for the present edition, I have found very little to change or to add, for the work seems to present a very fair idea of the contents of Southern Buddhism and, as my object is never to write an extended essay on the subject, I resist the temptation to wander off into amplifications of details which, however interesting to the student of comparative religion, are useless in a rational scheme of elementary instruction.

About the Author:
Colonel Henry Steel Olcott (2 August 1832 – 17 February 1907) was an American military officer, journalist, lawyer and the co-founder and first President of the Theosophical Society. He was born in New Jersey and attended first the College of the City of New York and later Columbia University. He served in the US Army during the American Civil War and was later promoted to the rank of colonel and transferred to the Department of the Navy in Washington, DC. In 1874, he met Helena Blavatsky. His foundational interest in the Spiritualist movement and his budding relationship with Blavatsky helped foster his development of spiritual philosophy. He publicly converted to Buddhism on May 25, 1880. His conversion is considered the first among American and European Buddhists. From 1874 on, his spiritual growth and development with Blavatsky and other spiritual leaders would lead to the founding of the Theosophical Society.
