JUST PUBLISHED, THE MORMON BIBLE. One Vol. 12mo., 400 pages, cloth. Price $1 25.
This edition of the " BOOK OF MORMON" is an exact reprint of the third American edition, published at Nauvoo in 1840, under the official sanction of the leaders of the Mormon Church. The work has been, for many years past, entirely out of print, and unobtainable in this section of the world, and the correspondent of the New York Times, in a communication recently published in that paper, stated that he had made repeated endeavors to obtain a copy of it in Deseret, but had failed to procure or even to see one.
It would appear from the above statements to have been the policy of the rulers of the Mormon Church to suppress the book entirely-a powerful reason for which suppres- sion may be found in the fact that polygamy is strongly denounced in numerous pas- sages throughout the entire work.
The above facts, together with the interest which attaches to this curious work, not only as a literary production, but as the recognized standard of religious faith of a people whose history is attracting great attention, and a firm conviction that the most powerful means of destroying the monstrous religious delusion embraced by so many of our fellow beings in Utah and elsewhere, would be to give a wide circulation to the book, have appeared to the publishers a sufficient reason for re-issuing it.

EXTRACTS FROM OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" The Mormon Bible itself, separate from the peculiar interest which attaches to it on account of the important part it has performed, and is now performing in the history of the present century, will be found interesting to most readers for its terse language, original ideas, and the many moral lessons inculcated by its pages. It is the duty, as it should be the pleasure, of every intelligent American citizen, to be thoroughly acquainted with all the incidents of his time; and none can fairly claim to be so on the Mormon question, without a careful perusal of the so-called Bible and its auxiliary circumstances."-New York Sun.
"This is a literal reprint of the Mormon Bible, as it was first given to the world by the prophet Joseph Smith. The rapid increase of the sect that receives this book as the work of an inspired author, and the importance of the events in which the leaders of that faith are prominent actors, has created a demand for the 'Book of Mor- mon.' The relations which the National Government has lately sustained to this strangely infatuated people naturally excited a curiosity to know definitely the teachings of the founder of the faith, The 'Golden Bible' is here presented in the language in which Joseph Smith presented it to his people. It has, we suspect, since then undergone many changes, as we look in vain for the authority of many things now practised by the Saints. The public will hardly believe that not one word can be found in the original which justifies the practice of polygamy. That institution appears to be an after-thought-an interpolation of the successors of Smith, who probably realized the necessity of adding something that should excite the passions more than the reason. The success which has crowned the efforts of the Mormon missionaries-for it is not to be denied that they have been successful-is probably more due to the interpolations which they have engrafted on the original system. The gratification of an unbridled lust has led thousands across the ocean and the desert to the valley of the Salt Lake who would never have comprehended the rhapsodies of Joe Smith. As a curiosity, the ' Book of Mormon' will command attention."-Albany Statesman.
" This is the bona fide Mormon Bible. This singular sect, however, acknowledge the authority of the Jewish Record and the New Testament, the Book of Mormon being looked upon as additional, and containing the history of a tribe driven to America by the confusion of tongues at the Tower of Babel, and also of the ' lost tribe,' as it is called, of the Israelites. Both the Mormon and the Gentile version of the origin of the book is contained in the preface, and the reader is left to decide between the two. We have looked its pages over some, and do not find aught in its teachings that can be considered immoral, or that could be construed into sanctioning immoral- ity. The Mormons appear to have derived the excuse for their beastly practices from the Jewish Record, all of which are pointedly and severely denounced in the Book of Mormon.
"In several places the severest penalties are denounced against licentious practices of all kinds. So it appears that the Mormons are at present suffering for their sins, in accordance with the teachings of their own Bible, as the people, of whom the book assumes to be a record, suffered and perished of old. They are guilty of the very practices the teachings of the book were intended to prevent."-New York Dispatch.
"This is a reprint of the so-called sacred 'Book of Mormon,' which, in the hands of Jo. Smith, became the revelation of a new religion, the Koran of the Yankee Mahomet. The work has been a long time out of print. The theory of its origin is, that the volume was originally written by a Rev. Mr. Spaulding, of Ohio, as a pas- time. After Spaulding's death, the manuscript was dishonestly procured by Sydney Rigdon, a deposed clergy- man of Pennsylvania. Rigdon appeared in Palmyra, in this State, about the time of Smith's pretended unearth- ing of the mysterious plates, the fraud was concocted between them, and Spaulding's romance was published as a translation of the inscriptions on the golden plates. This is the story that has long been current of the origin of this Bible. We do not believe it. There is no internal evidence of such a fact ; and no other external testi- mony except a letter of the widow Spaulding, claiming it in behalf of her deceased husband. Such a book was never written for amusement, or as a work of imagination. It was intended for deception, and as part of a great system of imposture. The book has 380 compact pages, and is handsomely executed."-Atlas and Argus, Albany.
