libel case coming to court during H.P.B.'s lifetime. Her death automatically terminated the suit, but on September 26, 1892, the

voluntarily apologized for printing the Coues interview, which it said, "appears to have been without solid foundation" and "should not have been printed."

206. The projected third and fourth volumes of
The Secret Doctrine
were never published and the manuscript, if there was one, mysteriously disappeared. As there is no record of the material having been destroyed by H.P.B., fanciful legends have circulated through the years about its whereabouts, including assertions that some of the manuscript was purposely hidden and will be released at an appropriate time. 
The so-called third volume, published in 1897 by Annie Besant, is nothing more than a collection of unfinished articles found in H.P.B.'s desk at the time of her death, but certainly this was not what she intended as Volume Three. According to George Mead (
Lucifer,
July 16, 1897), H.P.B. labored under the misconception that she had enough unused material to fill two additional volumes, but that this was not actually the case.

210.
Lucifer,
May, 1891. In my opinion, the date of this article, April 27, 1891, is erroneous because on that date H.P.B. was mortally ill. Presumably it was written sometime before the twenty-sixth.
