Where this text comes from
First published at Liverpool in 1855. Pratt’s chapter titles are long lists of topics; short titles were written for the page, with his printed titles shown beneath where they differ. Where his printed errata correct a date (Chapter II reads “fifty-three”), the correction is used; the list of errata itself is not read.
Text produced for Project Gutenberg by the Mormon Texts Project and its volunteers (released March 3, 2011).
