Theosophical work

William Quan Judge served as editor of the periodical, The Path, from 1886-1896. Quoting from the first issue, April 1886, Judge gives a reason for producing the publication: "to try on the one hand to point out to their fellows a Path in which they have found hope for man, and on the other to investigate all systems of ethics and philosophy claiming to lead directly to such a path, regardless of the possibility that the highway may, after all, be in another direction from the one in which they are looking."
