Human Immortality

This antiquarian book contains William Jamess 1898 lecture, ""Human Immortality"". This fascinating lecture was given under the auspices of the The Ingersoll Lectureship, a scheme founded upon the wishes of Miss Caroline Haskell Ingersoll who gave 5000 dollars to Harvard University with the instructions that a series of lectures were to be read annually on the topic of human immortality - in memory of her father. An enthralling treatise on the possibility of conscious immortality, this antiquarian text will appeal to those interested in the topic, and would make for a worthy addition collections of allied literature. William James (1842 - 1910) was an American psychologist and philosopher. Originally published in 1898, this rare text is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
