'...a good bit of spice to give the critlings a flavour, and plenty of treacle to make the mince-meat look rich'Radical Victorian reformer Henry Mayhew walked the streets of London interviewing ordinary flower girls, market traders, piemen and costermongers to create the first ever work of mass social observation, and the ultimate account of urban life - including an extraordinary description of the city from a hot air balloon.

This scarce text details the complete history of the Latter-Day Saints, with particular emphasis given to the character of the extraordinary man, Joseph Smith. This text considers Joseph Smith's life from his humble birth in a tent to his want of education, his boldness, inexorable perseverance, defiance in the face of danger, and his ultimate overcoming of obstacles which culminated in his founding a new religion. A thoroughly interesting account, this text will appeal to historians, theologians, and those interested in the history of the sect. Henry Mayhew was a playwright, English social researcher, journalist, and reformation advocate. Originally published in 1857, this book is republished with a new biography of its author.
