From Publishers Intro: So, why a reprint of a book over 135 years
old when there are so many reprints and new editions of the text?
Excellent question and one I will endeavor to answer here. Since it
is our goal to find and reprint spiritual classics on the verge of
falling into the vast abyss, we came upon reference to this work
while reading "Lifting the Veil" by Lillian Dewaters, and the
following is quoted verbatim from "The Sickle" by William W.
Walter, during a discussion on the understanding of Christian
Science, excerpted from pages 127-129, 1918 edition. Recently there
has arisen a misunderstanding among the students of Christian
Science, regarding the correctness of the early editions of
"Science and Health, with key to the Scriptures." Some maintain
that merely reading the early editions once gave them a much
greater depth of understanding, and consequently greater healing
power than years of study spent upon the later editions. Others
maintain that Christian Science, in its complete purity, is not to
be found in the early editions, and further state that Mrs. Eddy
later repudiated these early editions as being incorrect in
Principle. Mrs. Eddy's own words ought to be the best authority on
this question. She wrote, page 55, "Retrospection and
Introspection," under the chapter heading of "The Precious
Volume"-"The first edition of my most important work, Science and
Health, containing the complete statement of Christian Science, the
term employed by me to express the Divine, or spiritual Science of
Mind-healing was published in 1875." The statement, "the first
edition of my most important work, Science and Health, containing
the complete statement of Christian Science'' was undoubtedly
written in 1891, or sixteen years after: the publishing of the
first edition. Thus we see that after sixteen years of teaching,
writing and practice Mrs. Eddy still maintained that the first
edition was "The Precious Volume" and the one that contained "the
complete statement of Christian Science" A Gnostic Audio Selection,
