Eddy, the author of the textbook "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," be given therefor,..." (1903-04 Trust Agreements, Manual p.137).

NOTE 2: These dates have been verified by the particular original "Manual of the Mother Church The First Church

NOTE 3: The "Cross & Crown seal" was added to the cover of the Manual, in 1916, in violation of Mrs. Eddy's intent, to change it in appearance to look like an ecclesiastical rule book instead of the legal document that it is.
