Complete Thomas Troward Collection

Welcome to this singularly complete collection of Judge

Thomas Troward’s works.

The result of studying his works is to gain an intenseunderstanding of the underlying laws this universe operates

from, quite apart from personal revelations which are

welcome distractions as you read.

I’ve collected these works from years of research. I found

that Troward was a singular source-point for a great deal, if

not all, of American self-help classics. Charles . !aanel

"#aster $ey %ystem& and 'apoleon !ill "Think and (row)ich, *aw of %uccess& +oth quote Troward and amplify the

underlying principles he stated in his lectures, as well as other

writings. %o in this collection, you have the original workswhich greatly forwarded the 'ew Thought philosophic

movement. !istorically, had Troward +een a+sent, 'ew

Thought would not have gained the impetus and presence ithas enoyed up to the present.

Another point to keep in mind is that Troward wrote from a decidedly Christian view. All hiscomparatives are with and against i+lical references, ultimately. hile he learned /astern

languages and studied all the Indian religions’ i+les in that native language "and the 0ewish and

Christian i+les in !e+rew and (reek&, he lectured in the 1ueen’s /nglish. %o for a modern

American to try to simply read his works can +e tantamount to trying to understand original%hakespeare straight up. There is my reason for suggesting study, not reading. The only simpler

approach I would suggest is to read !ill, then !aanel, then Troward. This +ackwards approach

gives you progressively more difficult /nglish to work through while you already have the

simple principles to hand. hile you can read !ill a page at a time, !aanel is +est studied +y the paragraph. Troward seems +est digested +y the sentence. ith these caveats in mind, the depth

of Troward’s understanding will then +e more fully accessi+le to you.
