Be Careful about Quotations.

By Editor

Will all our correspondents and contributors be careful to copy quotations correctly verbatim et literatim et punctuatim? If there is more than one edition of a work from which a quotation is made, give the edition. Sometimes a correct quotation is disputed, because the edition is different from the one with which the critic is acquainted. For instance, in the article “Why Was Not Satan Destroyed at Once?” the quotation from “Great Controversy” may be correct, but it is from none of the three editions we have in our library. Use care in quotations and credits.
