The Quimby Manuscripts, Phineas Parkhurst Quimby's own writings edited by Horatio W. Dresser and published by Thomas Y. Crowell Company in 1921, is a primary text collecting the mental healing practitioner's own notes and letters, unpublished during his lifetime and issued more than fifty years after his death. Its authority is that of Quimby's own recorded words, mediated through Dresser's editorial selection and arrangement. Its limit is exactly that editorial mediation and the long gap between composition and publication, which leaves open questions about completeness and framing. Cite it for Quimby's own recorded thought; a critical assessment of his influence needs an independent historical study.
