THE CITY OF THE MORMONS; OR, THREE DAYS AT NAUVOO, IN 1842. BY THE REV. HENRY CASWALL, M.A. AUTHOR OF "AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN CHURCH," AND PROFESSOR OF DIVINITY IN KEMPER COLLEGE, ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. LONDON: PRINTED FOR J. G. F. & J. RIVINGTON, ST. PAUL'S CHURCH YARD, AND WATERLOO PLACE, PALL MALL: & SOLD BY W. GRAPEL, LIVERPOOL. 1842. O merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made: have mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and HERETICS, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, TO THY FLOCK, that they may be saved among the remnant of true Israelites, and be made one fold under one Shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. A M E N. PREFACE. The following narrative, the result of a few weeks' leisure on shipboard, is presented to the Christian public, with a deep sense, on the Author's part, of the iniquity of an imposture, which, under the name of religion, is spreading extensively in America and in Great Britain. Mormonism needs but to be seen in its true light to be hated; and if the following pages, consisting almost exclusively of the personal testimony of the Author, should assist in awakening public indignation against a cruel delusion and a preposterous heresy, he will consider himself amply rewarded. A History of Mormonism, from its commencement to the present time, may perhaps form the subject of a future publication. _Liverpool, June 19, 1842._ THE CITY OF THE MORMONS, _&c._
