W. W. Prescott and the 1911 Edition of The Great Controversy

1. Page 22

There is one general feature of the book to which I will call attention without attempting to refer definitely to each case, as this would require much space, and involve much repetition. Throughout the book there are very many quotations, both from other writers and from verbal conversations which ought to be accurate, and which I think ought to have in nearly all cases suitable references. It is very difficult now, however, to locate these quotations, as oftentimes there is no hint which would enable one to look them up. I shall call attention to some which I have been able to locate, and suggest the need of much work in this direction. The inaccuracies which I have found in the few which I have looked up, suggest this. [Variant translations contributed to the appearance of inaccuracies.] WWPGC 4.5

I will now deal with different places throughout the book which seem to need attention. The edition which I have used in making this criticism is the Eleventh edition, revised and enlarged, published by the Pacific Press in 1889. WWPGC 5.1
