First published in 1919, &quot;A History of the New Thought Movement&quot; is an important study of the mental healing movement, by Horatio W. Dresser, an authoritative writer who knows his subject from the heart of it.&nbsp;<br />It is the first complete history of the subject, and of its leaders and healers. The account it gives of the more permanent, constructive ideas embodied in this system of applied metaphysical practice must make it helpful to those seeking practical answers from it to their own personal life problems.
