Phineas Parkhurst Quimby ~ Biographical Sketch.
[The New England magazine. / Volume 6, Issue 33, March 1888]
{Significant because his son, George Quimby, was privy to his father’s affairs. He describes Quimby’s method of inducing young Lucius Burkmer during the first years of his investigation and describes the latter years when he dealt with patients and the technique employed. He describes how the Misses Ware suggested to Quimby that he make notes. Evidently it was Quimby’s wish that George should continue his work but, alas, George’s interests lay elsewhere.}

THE great interest evinced, during the last ten years, in the treatment of disease through the mind, and the growing desire of a large number of students of the science, and others, to know in what manner the late P.

It is not the intention to make the article other than a plain statement of facts,based on personal knowledge.
