    Part I: Non-Seventh-day Adventist Works

    Books, Pamphlets, Tracts

    Bloomer, D. C. Life and Writings of Amelia Bloomer. Boston: Arena Publishing Company, 1895. 387 pp.EGWC 679.10

    The author was the husband of Amelia Bloomer. He presents the story of her activities in behalf of women’s rights, including a reform dress, and quotes extensively from her writings.EGWC 679.11

    Canright, D. M. The Bible From Heaven: A Summary of Plain Arguments for the Bible and Christianity. Battle Creek: Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association, 1878. 304 pp.EGWC 679.12

    An apologetic for the divine origin of the Scriptures. The author was a Seventh-day Adventist in 1878. This work is interesting primarily because it reveals an extreme case of nineteenth-century borrowing from earlier works without acknowledgment, taking extended portions, often without change of a word, from a book by a similar title written by Moses Hull in 1863.EGWC 679.13

    ------. Seventh-day Adventism Renounced. New York: Fleming H. Revell Company, 1889. 413 pp.EGWC 680.1

    According to the author, a complete refutation of Seventh-day Adventist teachings. Chapter 2, “An Experience of Twenty-Eight Years in Adventism,” is a brief autobiographical sketch. Only one chapter, “Mrs. White and Her Revelations,” pages 129-165, is devoted to a discussion of Mrs. White. An edition before us carries a “Preface to Fourteenth Edition,” dated 1914; however, in a preliminary chapter, “My Present Standing,” the author gives “1915” as date of writing that chapter. In the preface he notes the fact that since he wrote his book in 1889, which gave the then-current paging of Adventist works quoted, such works have, in many instances, been reprinted and repaged. He explains that he has not revised the page references because his book is in plates. Thus the various “editions” through the years should more properly be described as “printings.” However, a comparison of editions reveals that a few changes have been made, chiefly in the preface and introductory matter.EGWC 680.2

    ------. Life of Mrs. E. G. White. Cincinnati: The Standard Publishing Company, 1919. 291 pp.EGWC 680.3

    The scope of the book is summarized in the subtitle: “Her False Claims Refuted.” Her life and teachings are considered at length. This most complete of all works against Mrs. White sets out in formal fashion to examine the whole sweep of her teachings. It owes much of its plausibility to the fact that the author can repeatedly remind the reader that he was for years an Adventist minister, a friend of Mrs. White’s. Added plausibility resides in the facts that he frequently quotes, though with studied brevity, from Adventist works—and that most of his readers never have opportunity, or inclination, to examine the quotations in the original context.EGWC 680.4

    Written “to give a living picture of St. Paul himself, and of the circumstances by which he was surrounded”—social, religious, political, geographical.

Conybeare did all the translating, including any speeches of Paul in the narrative, and wrote nine of the chapters (see enumeration in the introduction).EGWC 680.12

    There was a revised and corrected edition in 1856; a third, the “People’s Edition,” was edited by Howson, after Conybeare’s death, with notes abridged and foreign references translated.EGWC 680.13

    In America the work was published by Scribner’s in 1854 and repeatedly thereafter from the same plates, apparently, in numerous printings numbered as “editions.” In 1869 a number of American publishers began to issue one-volume reprints of the “People’s Edition” for sale by canvassers, several houses using the same plates. The book was later reprinted by Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., in a smaller volume without footnotes, under the title The Life and Epistles of the Apostle Paul, printings undated.EGWC 680.14
