These editorials by Harold W. Percival represent the complete collection published in The Word magazine between 1904 and 1917. Now over one hundred years later, the original monthly magazines are rare. The twenty-five volume bound sets of The Word are only owned by a few collectors and libraries around the world.

By the time Mr. Percival's first book, Thinking and Destiny, was published in 1946, he had developed a new terminology for conveying the results of his thinking. This largely explains what may appear to be differences between his earlier and later works.
