Science & Health by Mary Baker Eddy
1875 Edition
The 1875 Edition was the first one and was one of the primary catalysts that enabled Mary Baker Eddy to found Christian Science. The revolutionary statements made in the book illustrates that it is one of the most important books ever written for all people because every single statement is provable as an exact “Science”, more exact than any other science known to mankind. Other so-called “sciences” require matter, time, or space in order to give it identity.
Leaning on the sustaining Infinite with loving trust, the trials of to-day are brief, and to-morrow is big with blessings. The wakeful shepherd tending his flocks, beholds from the mountain’s top the first faint morning beam ere cometh the risen day. So from Soul’s loftier summits shines the pale star to the prophet shepherd, and it traverses night, over to
“I was a scribe under orders”
Mary Baker Eddy
where the young child lies in cradled obscurity that shall waken a world. Over the night of error dawn the morning beams and guiding star of Truth, and the wise men are led by it to Science, to that which repeats the eternal harmony reproduced in proof of immortality and God. The time for thinkers has come; and the time for revolutions, ecclesiastic and social, must come.
Truth, independent of doctrines or time-honored systems, stands at the threshold of history. Contentment with the past, or the cold conventionality of custom, may no longer shut the door on science; though empires fall, “He whose right it is shall reign.” Ignorance of God should no longer be the stepping-stone to faith; understanding Him “whom to know aright is Life” is the only guaranty of obedience.

2 | Imposition & Demonstration | PHENOMENA not understood belong to the things that are, but which we venture not to explain, not having gained their origin and specific character from science. | 064 | 146 | 44 | ODT PDF | ||
3 | Spirit & Matter | Nothing false or impure is for a moment embraced in immortal Soul; these are mortal, the destructive elements of matter-mind. | 147 | 220 | 39 | ODT PDF | ||
4 | Creation | “Let there be light,” is the demand of Life and Love, changing chaos to order and discord to the music of the spheres. Progress takes off all shackles, and the finite yields to the Infinite. | 221 | 282 | 32 | ODT PDF | ||
5 | Prayer and Atonement | Thoughts unuttered are not unknown to the infinite Intelligence comprehending them, to whom a desire is prayer, and no loss can occur from trusting God with our desires, to mould and make higher before they are evolved in action. | 283 | 313 | 17 | ODT PDF | ||
6 | Marriage | Marriage is the only legal and moral form among the higher species, for generation, and until the spiritual creation is discerned and the union of male and female apprehended in its Soul-sense, this rite should continue …. | 314 | 326 | 7 | ODT PDF | ||
7 | Physiology | BECAUSE science reverses the positions of personal sense, human reason acts slowly in accepting it, contesting every inch of ground it occupies, while error, self-complacent and applauded, sneers at the slow marches of Truth. | 327 | 367 | 21 | ODT PDF | ||
8 | Healing The sick | The metaphysical requires the elucidations of spiritual sense, and personal sense cannot apprehend the explanations of soul; hence a mere classical education leaves Spirit much out of the question, and educates man only from the personal standpoint of matter. | 368 | 456 | 47 | ODT PDF | ||
