Thomas Troward was an influential figure in the New Thought movement, a philosophical movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Punjab, India, on 1847 May 22, to British parents, he was an early proponent of mental science and the power of thought. Educated in England, Troward served as a Divisional Judge in British-administered India, which provided him ample time to delve into the philosophical and religious texts of the subcontinent. His integration of Eastern and Western thought helped forge his unique philosophical outlook. After his retirement from the judiciary in 1896, Troward's literary career began in earnest, producing a body of work that focused on the interconnectedness of the universal law of cause and effect and the power of individual thought. His lectures and writings, particularly 'The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science' and 'The Dore Lectures on Mental Science', are cornerstones of his collected works and have been influential in shaping the ideas of many other New Thought authors. Troward emphasized the creative power of thought in shaping one's reality, an idea that has permeated self-help and motivational literature to this day. His literary style is often described as a blend of empirical logic and intuitive speculation, reflecting both his judicial background and his speculative philosophical interests. Posthumously, Troward's works continue to be studied and respected for their contribution to metaphysical and New Thought literature.
