Provenance: Books in the collection were donated to and purchased by The First Church of Christ,Scientist.

The collection is subject to applicable copyright laws.

The Autographed and Inscribed Books collection consists of over 100 books signed, annotated, orinscribed by and/or to persons significant in the history of Christian Science. Persons represented in thiscollection include contemporaries of Mary Baker Eddy, such as members of her household staff, personswho held positions in The First Church of Christ, Scientist or the Christian Science Publishing Society,those who corresponded with Eddy, and persons who worked in the Christian Science movement post-1910.

The bulk of the collection contains volumes of Eddy’s writings, such as Science and Health. Many of thebooks are personal copies bearing signatures of the owner rather than inscriptions to a recipient, andtherefore may include notations and markings throughout. For example, the collection includes HermannS. Hering’s copy of the Christian Science Hymnal from when he was the First Reader of The MotherChurch (IB0014). Some of the books are signed by multiple persons, documenting students of a Normal orPrimary class,as well as the teacher (IB0055 and IB0056, IB0064).

Several books in the collection were signed by the author—for example, copies of Bliss Knapp’s Ira OscarKnapp and Flavia Stickney Knapp: A Biographical Sketch (IB0074 - IB0084), books with titles by KatherineM. Yates (IB0118, IB0120), and books with titles by William P. McKenzie (IB0088 - IB0097). BiographerLyman P. Powell inscribed his book Mary Baker Eddy: A Life Size Portrait to Margaret Richardson, whopainted the portrait of Eddy used in the biography and referred to as “a constant inspiration to the author inpreparation of this book” (IB0018). The painting is in the Library’s collections (1989.173).

Five books, given on the occasion of Christmas (IB0001, IB0041, IB0104, IB0111, IB0123), showconnections between recipient and giver. In an unknown connection, Author J. Allen Boone gifted a copyof his Letters to Strongheart to Gilbert C. Carpenter, Jr. in 1939. Strongheart was a German Shepherdcanine film star of the 1920s, and Boone was the dog’s caretaker for a short time. Boone inscribed thebook, “Dear Gilbert, Because you speak our language so fluently, Strongheart and I are particularly happythat you have copies of these letters” (IB0006).

Some books were inscribed with reminiscences of those who used them during a specific event. Clifford P.Smith inscribed copies of Miscellaneous Writings, 1883-1896 (IB0019), Science and Health with Key to theScriptures (IB0065), and the Holy Bible (IB0098), all used in the close of the Sunday service on December4, 1910 and at Eddy’s funeral service on December 8, 1910. Smith was First Reader of The MotherChurch at the time. Carol Hoyt Powers similarly inscribed a copy of Poems, from which she read "Mother'sEvening Prayer" during that funeral service. On the same day, Mary Beecher Longyear inscribed a copy ofPoems to Eddy in loving sentiment (IB0024).

This collection also includes a copy of Science and Health that Laura Lathrop, who taught a class onChristian Science at Riggs House in Washington, D.C., inscribed to Susan B. Anthony (IB0030), who wasone of her students. Anthony received the book on March 1, 1887. Thirteen years later, Anthony inscribedthis copy to her friend Emily Gross.

Although Eddy may have owned some of these books (IB0031, IB0032, IB0045, IB0047), she did notinscribe any of them. Books with her autographs and inscriptions comprise the Mary Baker EddyAutographed and Inscribed Books.
