Preface to Reprinted Edition
Among the most treasured volumes in the libraries of many of the
older Seventh-day Adventist workers are the early editions of the E. G.
White books, particularly “Spiritual Gifts,” Volumes I-IV, published
from 1858-1864. Through the passage of the years the fuller E. G.
White presentations have replace these small original volumes, which
have become quite rare and much sought after. As a service to a greatly
expanding worker and student group these original printings are now
reissued in facsimile form and made available to all who desire them.
Being photographically reproduced, the pages carry with them such
few typographical errors as may have occurred in the first printing.
They are bound in a form similar to the original editions. In this
reissued form, as was often the case in the early days, they are bound
with two volumes in one cover. In the case of Volume II, of which
there were two variant printings, a supplement embodies the additional
text of the second printing.
That these volumes not only may be treasured by the present gener-
ation of Seventh-day Adventist workers, but in some sense may carry
the reader back to the atmosphere of the days of small beginnings is
the sincere wish of the publishers and
The Trustees of the
Ellen G. White Publications.
