Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Religious, Social, and Political, History of the Mormons, or Latter-Day Saints, From Their Origin to the Present Time: Containing Full Statements of Their Doctrines, Government and Condition, and Memoirs Moirs of Their Founder, Joseph Smith Joseph Smith, the American impostor and visionary, was certainly no ordinary man. When we consider the obscurity of his original position, his want of education, the boldness of his pretensions, the skill with which he brought them forward and defended them, his indomitable perseverance, his defiance of difficulty and danger, and his ultimate success as the founder of a new religion, he seems indeed not unworthy of the title of the "American Mahomet," which has frequently been applied to him. The extensive community which he established, and their various vicissitudes before and after the death of the Prophet, form a picture equally remarkable and interesting. We see in them - in their harmony, in their constancy, in their entire devotion to one great enterprise and purpose - a degree of moral elevation and courage which resemble in some degree that recorded of the great martyrs and apostles of a nobler and more ancient faith. The following pages contain a complete and impartial history of this extraordinary sect, from their very origin to the present tune. They also contain full descriptions of the government, ordinances, doctrines, the social, political, and moral condition of the Latter Day Saints.
