William Scott-Elliot (sometimes incorrectly spelled Scott-Elliott) (1849-1919) was a theosophist who elaborated Helena Blavatsky's concept of root races in several publications, most notably ''The Story of Atlantis'' (1896) and ''The Lost Lemuria'' (1904), later combined in 1925 into a single volume called ''The Story of Atlantis and the Lost Lemuria''. In 1893 he married Matilda (Maude) Louise Travers (1859-1929), daughter of Dr Robert Boyle Travers F.R.C.S., of Farsid Lodge, Rostellan, County Cork, Ireland. ==Theosophical writings== Scott-Elliot was an East India Merchant and amateur anthropologist. An early member of the London Lodge of the Theosophical society, in 1893 he wrote ''The Evolution of Humanity'', issued as part of the Transactions of the London Lodge (issue 17).〔William Scott-Elliot, ''The evolution of humanity'', Issue 17 of Transactions of the London Lodge of the Theosophical Society, Theosophical Society (Great Britain). London Lodge, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner, & Co., 1893.〕 Scott-Elliot came into contact with theosophist Charles Webster Leadbeater who said he received knowledge about ancient Atlantis and Lemuria from the Theosophical Masters by "astral clairvoyance." Leadbeater transmitted his clairvoyant findings to Scott-Elliot, who undertook scholarly research to back them up. Despite Leadbeater's contributions, Scott-Elliot was listed as the sole author of the resulting book ''The Story of Atlantis'', which was published with a preface by Alfred Percy Sinnett.〔Gregory Tillett, ''The Elder Brother: A Biography of Charles Webster Leadbeater'', 1982.〕 In 1899 he was awarded the T. Subba Row Medal for his contributions to "esoteric science and philosophy". In 1904 he added detail on Lemuria in ''The Lost Lemuria'', attempting to use contemporary scientific evidence to back up Leadbeater's claims.
