Natural principles govern the relation between mental action and material conditions, and those principles can be known, understood and put into practice. In this brief foreword Troward sets out the purpose of the book. It gives the student a clear starting-point for the practical study of mind and its effect on outward circumstance. The volume gathers the substance of lectures given in the Queen Street Hall, Edinburgh, and Troward dedicates it with affection to his wife.

Key ideas

  • Mental action and material conditions are joined by natural principles, not by chance or caprice.
  • Troward offers these principles as an intelligible starting-point, the ground from which practical study begins.
  • The study of mind is meant to be practical: understanding is the first step toward right application.
  • The book carries the substance of Troward's Edinburgh lectures, a course meant for the earnest student.
