The most important Quimby source was not yet published at the time this book was edited: This is the three-volume set compiled by Dr. Ervin Seale and published by DeVorss: The Complete Writings of Phineas Parkhurst Quimby edited by Dr. Ervin Seale; 1988 ISBN 0-87516-600-8 Trade Cloth; Vols. 1,2,3 -- $25.00 each Published and distributed by: DeVorss & Company P.O. Box 550; Marina del Rey, CA 90294 (800) 331-4719 in California -- (800) 843-5743 elsewhere Revisions have been made in the book's Bibliography to bring it up to date -- see parenthetic notes. Bibliography THE QUIMBY MANUSCRIPTS; SHOWING THE DIS- COVERY OF SPIRITUAL HEALING AND THE ORIGIN OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. Edited by Horatio W. Dresser; 1921, Thomas Y. Crowell; New York. The primary source for the book you hold. This is the original publication of Quimby's notes, edited by the son of Julius and Annetta dresser, patients and students of Dr. Quimby. It is long out of print, but found in some libraries. This large book contains 125,000 words in selec- tions from the manuscripts, with editorial comments and explanations. THE QUIMBY MANUSCRIPTS. Edited by Horatio W. Dresser with an introduction by Ervin Seale; 1961, Citadel Press, Lyle Stuart; Secaucus, New Jersey. This edition is a photographic reprint of the 1921 book, but omits the fourteen letters from Mary Baker Patterson (Eddy) to Dr. Quimby. The excellent introduction by Dr. Ervin Seale summarizes the history and contribution of Quimby. This edition of the manuscripts may be pur- chased through a book store or found in many libraries. (NOTE: A concordance is available, but not in Internet format.) THE UNPUBLISHED WRITINGS OF PHINEAS PARK- HURST QUIMBY. Compiled by Erroll S. Collie from the original manuscripts in the Library of congress; 1943, reprinted in 1981. This closely typed, mimeographed transcription contains 200,000 words from the manuscripts not included in the Dresser edition. (In 1997 I do not know a source for this publication and suggest instead the three-volume complete writings. Less than twenty lines were drawn from this source, which may be an indication of the redundancy in Quimby's voluminous notes.) The Quimby manuscripts are now in the Library of Congress. Some libraries have microfilm copies. * * * * * * * (The following two were not sources of quotations of Quimby but were supporting literature. I do not find them listed in the DeVorss catalog in 1997.) QUIMBY'S SCIENCE OF HAPPINESS; A NON-MEDICAL SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION OF THE CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. By Erroll Stafford Collie; 1980, An explanation of Dr. Quimby's teachings by the man who transcribed and made available so much of Quimby's manuscripts. Includes information of newer discoveries in the science of healing. PHINEAS PARKHURST QUIMBY, REVEALER OF SPIRITUAL HEALING TO HIS AGE; HIS LIFE AND WHAT HE TAUGHT. By Ann Ballew Hawkins; 1951, Many biblical references in support of Doctor Quimby's wisdom. * * * * * * * THE TRUE HISTORY OF MENTAL SCIENCE; A LECTURE DELIVERED AT THE CHURCH OF DIVINE UNITY, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ON SUNDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1887. By Julius Dresser. Copies may be available from Quimby sources. An eyewitness report by a patient of Doctor Quimby, who was also a student and assistant to the doctor. Dresser gives the history of the development of Quimby's science, describes the man and his work, and quotes the testimonials written by Mary Baker Eddy as well as brief excerpts from Quimby's notes, which were then safeguarded by Doctor Quimby's son. SPIRITS IN REBELLION; THE RISE OF DEVELOPMENT OF NEW THOUGHT, By Charles S.Braden; 1963, Southern Methodist University Press; Dallas, Texas Gives the history of the New Thought movement, from Park Quimby to 1963. this is a detailed and unbiased account. ("Bias" is in the eye of the beholder. The history of New Thought is complex and diverse. From Quimby and other historical sources -- some of them ancient -- various threads of thought have followed. THE POSITIVE THINKERS; A STUDY OF THE AMERICAN QUEST FOR HEALTH, WEALTH AND PERSONAL POWER FROM MARY BAKER EDDY TO NORMAN VINCENT PEALE. By Donald Meyer; 1965, Doubleday and Company, Garden City, New York. Briefly describes the origination by Quimby, then follows the development, not toward New Thought and healing, but toward the more self-centered positive thinking and get-rich popular publications and leaders. This is a compre- hensive commentary only within that bound -- and tinged with cyncism. ( It was when looking for the source of "get-rich positive thinking" that the I stumbled upon this book on the library shelves and opened it to the first page to find the origin: P. P. Quimby. The publisher apparently chose to use "Mary Baker Eddy" in the title as a more saleable product than the unknown Quimby. That "brief encounter" led to the self-publication of this book -- a labor of love -- when I could find no well- organized, readable publication of Quimby's wisdom. ) THE SEARCH encompasses the entire library. Only a trace of that search is given here, especially the sources of the quotations in the "Search" pages.. Aurelius, Marcus MEDITATIONS; notes of a Roman Emperor. Einstein, Albert OUT OF MY LATER YEARS Emerson, Ralph Waldo Especially the Harvard Divinity School address of July 1838. Krishnamurti, J. THE AWAKENING OF INTELLIGENCE and many other books. Plato THE REPUBLIC, Book VII This is the shadows-in-the-cave story. Rogers, Carl A WAY OF BEING; ON BECOMING A PERSON; CLIENT-CENTERED THERAPY; and other books. A modern healer tells how his theories and practice changed while sitting with patients. Schweitzer, Albert OUT OF MY LIFE AND THOUGHT, written at his hospital in Lambarene, French Equatorial Africa (now the Republic of Gabon). Spinoza, Benedict de ETHICS and A THEOLOGICO-POLITICO TREATISE. Lengthy, detailed, but with many pages that are eminently readable and important. Teilhard de Chardin THE PHENOMENON OF MAN is his masterwork, but numerous smaller books have been published since the death of this long-silenced Jesuit priest-scientist. |
