The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science

Influenced by the New Thought Movement and mystic Christianity, Thomas Troward was an English author and divisional judge in India. After retiring in 1896, he focused on applying logic to the study of cause and effect, drawing from his interest in comparative religion. His work, particularly the "Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science," received high praise from philosopher William James for its clarity and philosophical depth, establishing Troward as a significant figure in early 20th-century thought.
