On March 31, 1910, Reverend Mary Baker Eddy wrote her publisher as follows:—
"Please take immediate steps to have Science and Health translated into the German language. This new edition shall be printed with alternate pages of English and German, one side to contain the divinely inspired English version which shall be the standard, the other to contain the German text, which shall be a translation.
"This work must be done by a committee of not less than three persons who are thorough English and German scholars and good Christian Scientists."
