SMITH (Joseph) The Book of Mormon: An Account Written by the Hand of Mormon, Upon Plates Taken from the Plates of Nephi . . . By Joseph Smith, Junior, Author and Proprietor, 8vo, title, 1 f. Preface, pp. 588, 1 f. “The Testimony of Three Witnesses,” with, verso, “And Also The Testimony of Eight Witnesses, early newspaper articles mounted on the front end-leaves, 19th century library cloth, spine ruled and lettered in gilt, (split along upr. hinge; preliminary blank lacking, title-page stub mounted in the gutter, occasional light foxing, otherwise vg / excellent), FIRST EDITION, Palmrya, Printed by E.B.Grandin, For the Author, 1830. COLLATION: collated complete, save for the blank leaves presumably discarded at the time of the 19th century library rebind. We have also collated this copy against Janet Jenson’s “Variations Between Copies of the First Edition of the Book of Mormon,” which gives two tables of known errors. The first table contains errors and corrections, and this copy contains uncorrected errors as follows: 1) Page IV misnumbered “VI”. 2) Page 212 incorrectly numbered “122”. 3) Page 507 lines 26/27 reads “which is in my name” instead of the corrected “which is my name”. 4) Page 575, line 15, reads “elder priest” instead of the corrected “elder or priest.” The number of errors (four) falls within usual parameters. The second table relates to errors which remained uncorrected; our copy corresponds to this, with all those errors uncorrected. Additionally, we happened to notice an additional error on page 490, line 31, where “break” is given, instead of “bread”.PROVENANCE: An ink note referring to a newspaper cutting pasted above it tells us: “This [the newspaper cutting[ must have been published before the year 1830 as it and the Book were brought from Jamaica in 1829 or early in 1830 by Augustus Hardin Beaumont.” Beaumont (1798-1838), and Anglo-American radical, was born in New York to an Irish mother and British father. On the death of his parents he went to live with an aunt in Jamaica, around 1806. There he became intimately involved with the situation of the slaves, arguing for emancipation , but also compensation. He became well known as a radical (responsible for a series of short-lived radical papers) in both Jamaica and England. Reform Club (Pall Mall, London). Pencilled shelfmarks on the title and front paste-down. With the book are 3 letters dated 1980. Two of them are from the Reform Club’s Librarian, C. Sarah Scott, on letter-headed paper, referring to the book, and the Library Committee’s agreement to sell this book for £600. The binding is consistent with 19th century institutional (i.e. club) binding. The Reform Club was founded in 1836, as a forum for radical and liberal thinking. Beaumont had arrived (again) in England in 1835 where he remained until his death in 1838 and it would seem likely that the Reform Club received this book from him then. NEWSPAPER CUTTINGS. On the front end-papers are several newspaper cuttings, the first referred to above, and of an e rly date [see illustration], the other four are dated 1841-1849.
