Now you're trying to interest me in the number of people who went to museums to see one a hundred years ago.

First, I'm supposed to hear of several phases of discovery which someone writes about in order to instruct others and to correct my paper that has almost nothing to do with dinosaur discoveries.

Second, I'm supposed to stand corrected on the issue of who was able to get in to see one rather than suggest to you that as little known about and as rare as they were during that time, H.P.B. could still include what "little" information was available in her work, THE SECRET DOCTRINE, and she could include many references to them during the ages they lived on the earth. As RARE as they were, she performed admirably in suggesting the important role which these animals could some day come to have in our own human lives.

Try to get the point of my paper and discuss something more important than correcting me on fundamental knowledge.

My, hasn't the field of dinosaur study grown since her time!!

Yes. Yes. Most children learn their names and pictures in pre-school. My, my, how we are fascinated by their lives. Thank you. Thank you.
