"It is expected by the reading public, whenever a book is issued from the press, the author will give a Preface. As the writer of the following pages intends only to give such facts as can be well authenticated, it would seem unnecessary to write a Preface. Perhaps it may be well to state here, that I write not for gain, love of fame, or from any malevolent feelings against Mormons, as such, but from an earnest desire to warn the people against Mormon abominations. I have no doubt there are thousands of Mormons now deluded, who think now, as I formerly did, that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God, and had intelligence directly from Heaven; I thought it might be so ; but Paul saith "Prove all things, and hold fast that which is good" — which I endeavored to do ;fearing lest I might be found fighting against God ; my only desire is to benefit my fellow-creatures, and prevent, if possible, the horrible, blasphemous doctrines from becoming more prevalent."
