Uriah Smith (SDA) on Revelation 22:18-19

  

What is it to add to, or take from, the book of this prophecy? Let it be borne in mind that it is the book of this prophecy, of the Revelation, which is the subject of remark; hence the words in regard to adding to or taking from have exclusive reference to this book. Nothing can be called an addition except something added to it with the intention of having it considered a genuine part of the book of Revelation. To take from the book would be to suppress some part of it. As the book of Revelation could not be called an addition to the book of Daniel, so if God should see fit to make further revelations to us by His Spirit, it would be no addition to the book of Revelation unless it should claim to be part of that book. (Uriah Smith, The Prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation, rev ed. [Nashville: Southern Publishing Association, 1944], 779, 781)
