Brath was born in Sydenham, Kent. He worked as a civil engineer in India for 17 years.[1] He was most well known for his book Psychic Philosophy as the Foundation of a Religion of Natural Law, published in 1896. Alfred Russel Wallace had written an introduction for the book and considered it of "great lucidity, a philosophy of the universe and of human nature in its threefold aspect of body, soul, and spirit". The book was expanded in 1908 and endorsed by Wallace in a prefatory note.[2]
Brath was a Christian and believed that both Christianity and spiritualism were compatible.[2]
Brath also translated a number of psychical research books into English. He translated Charles Richet's Thirty Years of Psychical Research (1923).[1]
His books were criticized by the scientific community. The sociologist Guy Benton Johnson ridiculed Psychical Research, Science, and Religion in a review as an anti-scientific work and only "grand-reading if you have a sense of humor."[3]
