1887

JSH-Online (see www.christianscience.com) has provided this information about the first printing dates of Mrs. Eddy’s writings other than Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures:

Other published works by Mrs. Eddy include The People's Idea of God (1886), Christian Healing (1886), Unity of Good (1887), Rudimental Divine Science (1891), Retrospection and Introspection (1891), No and Yes (1891), Church Manual (1895-1910), Miscellaneous Writings (1896), Christ and Christmas (1893), Christian Science versus Pantheism (1898), Pulpit and Press (1895), Messages to The Mother Church (1900; 1901; 1902), The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany (1913).

So, I am satisfied on that count – Unity of Good was first published in 1887.

Oh dear!  I have been telling fibs!  The book I carry around (see recent blog post) is Mrs. Eddy’s No and Yes.  The sentiments are the same however, about Unity of Good.  And I do have a booklet-type copy of it as well.
