Since you doubt me and my obligatory comment to stay on topic, which was very naughty of you to do without research:

Quenta
c. 1930
The Shaping of Middle-earth p. 82
&quot;The hordes of Orcs he made of stone, but their hearts were of hatred.&quot;

Quenta Silmarillion
c. 1937-38 revisions
The Lost Road and Other Writings p. 233
&quot;These Orcs Morgoth made in envy and mockery of the Elves, and they were made of stone, but their hearts of hatred.&quot;

Tell me again when The Hobbit or There and Back Again was written, and why they aren't made of stone as I said they were, and which you corrected.

Please, thank you and whatever else will get an answer.
