William Smith on Mormonism

"This book contains a true account of the origin of the Book of Mormon; a sketch of the history, experience, and ministry of Elder William Smith; the story of the golden plates from which the Book of Mormon was translated; and account of the angelic visit to Joseph Smith, by which means the ancient Nephite records were found and by him translated; and account of the most extraordinary miracle, wrought by the laying on of the hands of the elders of the church, and a statement of the principles and doctrines as believed and taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, with other matters of great interest to all believers in Christianity." - William Smith
