The Quimby Manuscripts by Phineas Parkhurst Quimby ed. by Horatio W. Dresser [1921]

P. P. Quimby has been called the founder of 'New Thought.' There was controversy as to whether he also originated Christian Science. This set of documents, published in 1921 in response to a campaign to question his early role in Christian Science, shows that Quimby indeed anticipated many of the key ideas of both movements. Dresser, the editor was an early follower of Quimby. He shows that not only did Quimby have contact with Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, he probably also coined the term 'Christian Science.'
