Those who associate themselves with Ernest Holmes’s work are called Religious Scientists, and to them this is their “textbook.” Until the 1980s, many were unaware that there had been an earlier edition than that of 1938, much less that it had contained plenty of eye-opening material that was edited out of the second edition. Here at last, in one volume, are both books.
The Science o f M ind was originally published in November 1926, by Robert M. McBride 8c Company of New York, and copyrighted not by Holmes himself but by his mother, Anna. Robert McBride had an interest in spiritual matters, being the son of the president of the American Bible Union, and his publishing house had brought out Ernest Holmes’ first two books, Creative Mind and Creative Mind and Success, as well as his brother Fenwicke’s The Law of Mind in Action.
The company also published adventure novelist Sax Rohmer, fantasist James Cabell, and poet laureate Louise Bogan, while McBride himself wrote popular geographies of European countries. The Science of Mind did well enough that McBride reprinted it twice in 1928 and once in 1929. Then it apparently dropped out of print.
This may have been due to the economic climate of the Depression, or perhaps demand was momentarily exhausted, since at that time Holmes’s work was little known anywhere but on the West Coast. In any event, it was nine years until a new printing appeared (Holmes was working on it as early as 1936).
