White and in place of the note on prophetic dates, filling a little more than a page, a shorter Appendix note was used in the 1911 edition on page 687. It does not carry the chronological reckoning through to 1844, but does open with words affirming the 457 beginning of the 2300 day prophecy.WWPGC 36.1

C. as the proper time from which to begin reckoning these periods, have been clearly outlined by many students of prophecy.” See and then follow ten lines of references.WWPGC 36.2
