The present work, in four volumes, represents all "theosophical" articles from the pen of Charles Johnston that have been located to date. These are drawn largely from Theosophical periodical magazines between the years of 1886 and 1932. The articles have been arranged by subject matter, and the volumes organized to reflect certain overarching themes. Volume IV contains a miscellany of writings, beginning with several biographical articles; followed by a fascinating exploration of ancient speech and writing (including several articles treating of the Sanskrit language); a series of rather poetical articles drawn from the Irish Theosophist; and concluding with miscellaneous articles and translations.
