Tim,
I'd be very pleased to have you share this. In doing so, please mention
that Internet information like this is nearly impossible to verify as 100%
accurate. At least it will give people an idea about the timing of the
information.
One thing I also found out is that there are scores of other ebooks on this
material. Some are free. Others are collectively more expensive than the
package of 26 you provide. And some are part of the Guttenburg Project (I
believe this is an attempt to eventually make an electronic copy of all
printed material) and shouldn't be charged for. I think your package is a
great bargain for the price and is also a great introduction to this
material.

Hi Tim,
Researching these authors was an interesting exercise. Some had very
little info, others have websites dedicated to them. Overall, they were
educated, successful, and came from several countries. They undoubtedly
influenced each other, and some may have personally known each other. It
looks like much of today's "new age" type thinking comes directly from
these and other authors; most receive little or no credit from today's
gurus.
James Allen (1864-1912), British, wrote all 19 of his books
between 1902-1912. "As a man thinketh" was his 2nd one, so it was
