Probably most Seventh-day Adventists who are studying the writings of Ellen White (Spirit of Prophecy), are aware that some material has been kept back by the Ellen G. White Estate for various reasons. After some lay people started printing many of them in the 1960s, and then especially with the advent of the computer age, more and more material has been released. Finally, just before the GC Session in San Antonio, they released the remaining material. However, I cannot find it in a separate area to peruse, so it is almost impossible for me to determine what was recently released from what was released a long time ago.
Recently, the group that has been most vocal in agitating for the White Estate to release all the material, sent me some of the material by email. Below are some interesting quotes either from Ellen White herself, or from those who took dictation of what she said in vision. All of this material is from 1845-1856:
----- I saw that the nations had not power to hold themselves. I also saw that we were not to cry to God to hold the four winds, nor to the nations, but one angel was to cry to other angels equal in power, to hold until the servants of God were sealed in their foreheads. - When she came out of vision she accounted it thus: "I saw a large company of angels moving. I was not permitted to tell what they said to me. Each one had a round rod in their hand ten inches long. Think they had something to do with the time of trouble, etc.") - (Taking the large Bible containing the apocrypha:) Pure and undefiled, a part of it is consumed, holy, holy, walk carefully, tempted. The Word of God, take it (Marion Stowell), bind it long upon thine heart, pure and unadulterated. How lovely, how lovely, how lovely. My blood, My blood, My blood. O the children of disobedience, reproved, reproved. Thy word, thy word, thy word, a part of it is burned unadulterated, a part of the hidden book, a part of it is burned (the apocrypha).
Those that shall despitefully tread that remnant would think that they are doing God service. Why? because they are led captive by Satan at his will. Hidden book, it is cast out. Bind it to the heart (4 times) bind it, bind it, bind it, (laying the Bible on Oswald Stowell) let not its pages be closed, read it carefully. Snares will beset on every side, take the strait truth bind it to the heart (3 times) let everything be cast out. - Singing, I saw, often drove away the enemy and shouting would beat him back. - I then saw Sister S. Peckham that she would have to break loose from her husband for he has no part nor lot with the saints. - I also saw that Bro. Bates erred in attending the washing of saints' feet and the communion among unbelievers. It only caused reproach to come on the cause of God. I saw that the example of Jesus should be followed. He took His disciples away alone, separate from the wicked, - Then I saw that God had not given to Bro. Bates the gift of discernment; but his gift was to talk the Word. None had a gift like his. He could talk to a small company when there was not more than two present, as well as to a large company. - He should ever bear in mind that he is handling words of inspiration, words of a holy God. - God hates unruly children who manifest passion and evil tempers, etc. - I saw that God would not acknowledge an untidy and unclean person as a Christian. His frown was upon such. - I saw that when the blessing of God rested upon any one, it will not cause him to lose the use of his arms so that he cannot control them, or cause the arms to shake, jerk, etc. - Children are the lawful prey of the enemy, because they are not subjects of grace, have not experienced the cleansing blood of Jesus. -
Does anything here seem especially interesting to anyone else? The remark about the Apocryphya is especially interesting to me.
some of this was already released several months ago and much time was spent reading and evaluating it with the originals... after a while there was obvious error found in this recently released works that do not match with the originals...

"How easy, then, for the breach to be healed. It should have been Brother Cornell's study, How can I help the cause of God and prevent an open rupture here? One Holy Ghost meeting would have healed the wound; but instead of healing the difficulty, Brother Cornell made a wide breach.--Letter 6, 1856, p. 3. (To Brethren Cornell, Palmer, and Dr. Kellogg, circa 1856.) {5MR 237.2}
To the church in your place. What God showed me while I was with you. I saw that you had been sinking, growing dormant and unbelieving. I also saw that you have not glorified God as you should have done, by offering praise. I saw that the powers of darkness had been getting the victory over you. . . . {5MR 237.3}
I saw that Satan had worked through her effectually to bind God's children. When one had attempted to make an effort to rise and get the victory, the rest were like loadstones to drag him down. I saw you should rise together, and unitedly get the victory over the powers of darkness and sing and shout to the glory of God. {5MR 237.4}
I saw that we are the only people upon the earth from whom God is to get glory, and if we should hold our peace the very stones would cry out, for God must receive glory from some of those who dwell upon the earth. The only company who can praise and honor God, I saw, are those who are keeping the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus. . . . {5MR 238.1}
Singing, I saw, often drove away the enemy and shouting would beat him back. I saw that pride had crept in among you, and there was not childlike simplicity among you. The fear of man, I saw, must all go.--Ms 5a, 1850, pp. 1, 2. ("To the Church in Your Place," July, 1850.) {5MR 238.2}
I saw we must be daily rising and [must] keep the ascendancy above the powers of darkness. Our God is mighty. I saw singing to the glory of God often drove the enemy, and praising God would beat him back and give us the victory. I saw that there was too little glorifying God, too little childlike simplicity among the remnant.--Ms 5, 1850, pp. 1, 2. ("A Vision the Lord Gave Me at Oswego," July 29, 1850.) {5MR 238.3}
James was taken with the cholera morbus. He failed very fast until yesterday, p.m. Then he made a request for us to pray for him. Brother Harris was gone to his work, so that it only left Sister Harris, Clarissa, and Sarah and myself. We all felt unworthy to engage in the work. . . . Our united prayers went up to God and the answer came. {5MR 238.4}
Sister Harris and Clarissa were set entirely free, and they prayed God with a loud voice. The Spirit caused Clarissa to laugh aloud. James was healed every whit; the great distress he had had in his head was every whit removed, and he looked as though he had got the holy anointing. The fever and all pain left him, and he ate and was strengthened. He walked out upon his faith, harnessed his horse, and he and I went to Port Byron, one mile and a half and back. He gained strength very fast. He is quite strong today. Praise the good Lord.--Letter 12, 1850, p. 2. (To Brother and Sister Howland, August 15, 1850.) {5MR 239.1}
Here we are at Brother [E. P.] Butler's. Oh, how changed everything is here! God had wrought for us mightily; praise His holy name. At Washington the Lord took the rule of the meeting Himself. . . . {5MR 239.2}
You remember I was not very well when we parted. I continued to grow feeble, and all day Sabbath was very weak, not able to sit up; in the eve I fainted quite away. The brethren prayed over me and I was healed and taken off in vision. I had a deep plunge in the glory, and the state of things in Washington was revealed to me, which I declared plainly to them. . . . {5MR 239.3}
Monday forenoon we held another meeting and it was the best meeting of the whole; sweet union and love prevailed in the meeting. . . . {5MR 239.4}
Just as the meeting closed, Sister Meade, who had been afflicted with a slow fever, requested us to pray for her. We went into a room by ourselves, Brethren Holt, Wheeler, Stowell, James, and self. After I had anointed her with oil we prayed over her, and she was healed every whit and fell prostrate by the power of God. That night we got into a rowboat and went on the pond
about one mile to Brother Meade's. His sister was there with a very sick child. We anointed it with oil and prayed over it, and God heard our prayers. . . . {5MR 239.5} "
