    About this ebook

    Published in 1897, this essay was the 1896 Ingersoll Lecture at Harvard University.  James, in a preface to the second edition, writes, "My concern in the lecture was not to discuss immortality in general.  It was confined to showing it to be not incompatible with the brain-function theory of our present mundane consciousness."
