[Christian Science by Mark Twain]@TWC D-Link bookChristian Science CHAPTER III 4/9
It is difficult for me to believe that the same hand that wrote the Plague-Spot-Bacilli and the first third of the little Eddy biography wrote also Science and Health.
Indeed, it is more than difficult, it is impossible. Largely speaking, I have read acres of what purported to be Mrs.Eddy's writings, in the past two months.
I cannot know, but I am convinced, that the circumstantial evidence shows that her actual share in the work of composing and phrasing these things was so slight as to be inconsequential.
Where she puts her literary foot down, her trail across her paid polisher's page is as plain as the elephant's in a Sunday-school procession.
Her verbal output, when left undoctored by her clerks, is quite unmistakable It always exhibits the strongly distinctive features observable in the virgin passages from her pen already quoted by me: Desert vacancy, as regards thought.
