Gems from the East: A Birthday Book of Precepts and Axioms
A small book of aphorisms arranged by the days of the year, with sayings attributed to Buddhist, Hindu, Persian and Chinese texts, illustrated by F. Montague Brown. A minor work, but revealing of the wish to popularise Eastern ethics among Victorian readers.
Authorship note
Compiled by Blavatsky under the signature 'H.P.B.' as a birthday book; maxims drawn from Eastern sources.
