A pretentious little publication, called "The Mind Cure," has appeared in Chicago, and copies of the same are freely circulating in other cities. Its editor, while yet not disclaiming Spiritualism, mediumship, mesmerism, etc., etc., still quotes enough from the pages of "Science and Health" to mislead the uninformed into the belief that he is in accord with its teachings; or, as pompously implied—the author of them.
Careful scholars and readers of widest range have acknowledged the supreme originality of the contents of the work "Science and Health;" hence all unacknowledged quotations from its pages, giving its ideas in language verbatim or otherwise, are plagiarisms. The manager of the new compilation issue, "Mind Cure," is running large risk, therefore, in his daring transfers, and ought to be kindly "booked up" by somebody on the history of the Aren's plagiarism (of Science and Health) and its fate, as noted in the United States Circuit Court Record in Boston, case 1850.
—Never yet was grave
So deep or wide,
So strong or guarded, that it held the brave,
Great soul of one who, laboring, sought to save,
And yet was crucified.
