THE
CITY OF THE MORMONS.
&c.
THE rise of a new religion exhibits human nature in an uncommon aspect, and therefore affords a
highly interesting subject of examination to the thoughtful observer. Although every religion of
modern origin must now be regarded as a wicked imposture, it is painfully instructive, on the one
hand, to watch the demeanour of the successful founders of a spiritual dominion; and, on the
other hand, to notice the conduct of those who rejoice in the supposed advantages of their novel
“revelations.” It will then be found that, in the present age, neither enthusiasm, nor even outward
morality, are essential to the character of a Prophet, and that men may believe themselves
surrounded by the full blaze of prophecy and miracle, while they remain alike loose in principle,
and profligate in practice. [1]
