A collection of resources pertaining to Mary Baker Eddy’s work: Science and Health.
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures is the central text of the Christian Science religion. Mary Baker Eddy described it as her “most important work.” She began writing it in February 1872 and the first edition was published in 1875.
The first edition was copyrighted in 1875, and went through more than four hundred revisions before Eddy’s death in 1910. The copyright for Science and Health went through several renewals including a posthumous renewal in 1934 by the Christian Science Board of Directors. (Science and Health wikipedia page)
