Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Doctrines and Dogmas of Brighamism Exposed
Our apology for offering to the public Doctrines and Dogmas of Brighamism Exposed is to disabuse the public mind of an incorrect idea that seems to prevail among many people, viz, that all those who call themselves Latter Day Saints and believe that Joseph Smith the Martyr was a prophet of God and the Book of Mormon is of divine origin, are one in faith, doctrine, and practice. Our apology for offering it to the followers of Brigham Young is that they may know for we are persuaded that very many of them do not know what their religion, and the foundation of it, and the hope that it o?'ers to its adherents are; and to show them that they are wrong in the broad contention that they are the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in succession, having the same faith, doctrine, and practice of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, organized in 1830, which was presided over by Joseph Smith, jr., to the time of his death in 1844.
Our answer to those who have not hitherto known the difference between the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints and the so-called Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, with headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, is this volume. It is chie?y a compilation of the testimony and arguments of others. Its only originality resides in the selection of its material, and its arrangement. The matter which composes this volume has been selected With a view to familiarizing the reader with the general history of the Latter Day Saints, while at the same time the thread and sequence of the controversy is thus in mind.
