When told that she had not been fair to the authors she had drawn from in her 1888 edition of The Great Controversy, what was Ellen White’s response? QSEW 68.2
While most of the sentences and paragraphs in the 1888 edition of The Great Controversy quoted directly were in quotation marks, credit had not been given to the authors cited. The opportunity to include quotation marks in the few instances where needed, and to insert credit lines, came when the type was reset in 1910. W. C. White wrote A. G. Daniells at the time: QSEW 68.3
“When I presented to Mother questions as to what we should do regarding the quotations from historians and the references to these historians, she was prompt and clear in her opinion that it ought to give proper credit wherever we can.”—W. C. White to A. G. Daniells, June 20, 1910; Document File #83b. QSEW 68.4
