A propos de cet article

Hardcover. Full leather (brown). Black labels on the spine. Front hinge cracked, but board still attached. Covers faded unevenly. Binding good and tight. Bookplate from Phillips University Library, Enid Oklahoma on inside front cover, but no other indication of library ownership anywhere. Page are a little bit foxed. Quite an unusual imprint from Bethany VA (now part of West Virginia). Contains Jan-December 1839. 12 issues. Includes Incidents on a Tour of the South. essays in Sin, Christianity among the Sects, letters to and from Campbell. Includes, on page 265-268, a section on the Mormon Bible, written by Matilda Davison, with comment by A. Campbell. The article makes reference to the Boston Recorder of the previous week (May or June of 1839) and Howe's 1834 book "Mormonism Unvailed." About the Book of Mormon, it says, "It was difficult to imagine how a work containing so many indications of being the production of a cultivated mind, should be connected with a knavery so impudent and a superstition so gross as that which must have characterized the founders of this pretended religious sect." It goes on to relate Matlida Davison's observations about the source of the Book of Mormon: "its claims to a divine origin are wholly unfounded." She claims that the story that came to be the Book of Mormon was written by her husband Solomon Spaulding (now usually spelled Spalding) in 1817, inspired by the burial mounds in New Salem, OH. Spaulding's manuscript was much shared among friends but never published, though it was studied by a printer's associate named Sidney Rigdon. When the Book of Mormon was published, friends of Spaulding recognized it immediately as a plagiarism of his own 'Manuscript.' Sidney Rigdon, the printer's associate mentioned in the article went on to become a leader in the LDS movement -- thereby cutting his ties with Campbell (and the Campbellites) and his movement.
