(The present volume is the outgrowth of more than a half-c...)
The present volume is the outgrowth of more than a half-century of inquiry on the part of those to whom the author is chiefly indebted. This inquiry began with the researches of Dr. P. P. Quimby, of Belfast, Me., who devoted more than twenty years to the investigation of mental phenomena in relation to health and happiness. With him the authors father and mother were associated for several years previous to his death in 1866, and from him they learned many practical truths of the inner life. But Dr. Quimby left no published work, and they were long prevented by adverse circumstances from making any public use of his investigations. Yet they never lost sight of his teaching. It became a life with them, and bore the test of all the experiences in the category of sorrow and suffering. They created a home atmosphere of hope, of quiet strength and healthy inquiry, into which it was a rich heritage to be bom. Out of these household discussions grew in time many courses of lectures delivered to small audiences in Boston and elsewhere.

For many years a mass of documents of interest to Christian Scientists and to their critics as well, has been withheld from publication, although earnestly sought. These documents were written by Dr. P. P. Quimby, of Portland, Maine, and contain his views regarding mental and spiritual healing. They became familiar to Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy when she visited Dr. Quimby as a patient, before the days of Christian Science, and it has been charged by her critics that many of the ideas later promulgated in Christian Science teachings were born of the Quimby's theories. In order to set this controversy at rest, many attempts have been made to gain access to the Quimby manuscripts, but heretofore without success except in piecemeal or disjointed form. The present editor, however, has been fortunate in securing from Mrs. George A. Quimby, owner of the manuscripts, permission to print the documents in full. This edition of the manuscript is a publishing event of major importance, since it makes available in paperback form one of the truly scientific works on spiritual healing.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
