The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science by Thomas Troward audiobook. Genre: self help Thomas Troward was a divisional Judge in British-administered India. His avocation was the study of comparative religion. Influences on his thinking, as well as his later writing, included the teachings of Christ, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. After his retirement from the judiciary in 1896, Troward set out to apply logic and a judicial weighing of evidence in the study of matters of cause and effect. The philosopher William James characterized Troward’s Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science as 'far and away the ablest statement of philosophy I have met, beautiful in its sustained clearness of thought and style, a really classic statement.'
