Here we present the collected writings of William Quan Judge (1851-1896). In the menu to your right, you will find links to books published by Mr. Judge along with a full 316 published articles, lectures and correspondences. These we have arranged in chronological order, as much as possible, with the exception of serialized articles, which we have arranged according to the publication date of their first installment. Below you will find an alphabetical listing of the same.

In compiling and arranging these articles we have relied upon several important sources, and wish to give our sincere gratitude for the work there done. Firstly, we must say that since Mr. Judge often wrote under pseudonyms, and as several articles and lectures were published in (now) obscure papers, or popular papers of his time that have since fallen away, it has taken much effort over decades to cull out all articles coming from his pen, through the work of many dedicated theosophists. We have relied upon their hard work entirely, and have trusted their investigations and findings fully. Secondly, it was required to transcribe his writings into digital format, and for that too we have relied heavily upon the work of others. We have, as much as possible, proof-read and corrected the transcriptions used by comparison to the original publications, but our debt of gratitude to those who performed the original transcriptions is very high.

The sources from which we have worked, and to which we owe our thanks are the following:

Chiefly, and above all others, the work of Dara Eklund and her compilation titled:

“Echoes of the Orient: The Writings of William Quan Judge”

Secondly, three websites that we have relied upon extensively:

http://www.blavatsky.net/theosophy/judge/judge-articles.htm

http://www.theosophy-nw.org/theosnw/books/wqj-all/j-arts.htm

http://www.phx-ult-lodge.org/articles_of_william_q.htm

Lastly, we used the “Union Index of Theosophical Periodicals” in verifying and locating Judge’s articles in theosophical publications and to verify chronology.

We have attempted, as much as possible, to publish Judge’s articles in their original formatting, so as to maintain his exact wording, spelling, footnotes, etc.. However, we also highly recommend Dara Eklund’s work, as the student will then also benefit from modernized spellings (incl. modernized Sanskrit), and additional footnotes by the compiler which add much context to the materials.

Below, and at the top of the right-hand menu, you will find a customized search engine. This search feature is designed to target only the writings of Mr. Judge and to return results drawn from Google’s database. It is a powerful tool to use in searching through Judge’s writings.

In addition to this you will find a translation feature to the right of the main title on each article. This allows the article to be translated into dozens of common languages. It uses Google Translator, an online initiative designed to aid in auto-translation. This feature is in its infancy, and translations produced by it aren’t yet ideal, but it is a tool that is improved every day, and holds much promise for the future.

We hope this compilation will be helpful to all interested students.
