# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Shemlon, Land of

​SHEMLON, LAND OF. A region contiguous to Lehi-Nephi, apparently a neighboring valley. It was a portion of the Nephite domain until their exodus to Zarahcmla under the first Mosiah, when the Lamanites took possession of it, and ever afterwards retained it. They did not cede it to the people of Zeniff, as they did the neighboring lands of Lehi-Nephi and Shilom. Shemlon was so near the city of Lehi-Nephi that it could be overlooked from the high tower built near the temple by king Noah. It was in this land that the abduction of the daughters of the Lamanites, by the priests of Noah, occurred, which led to a war and other disastrous consequences, and later produced so many indirect results in the history of the Lamanites. At the time of the mission of the four sons of Mosiah, all the Lamanites of this land were converted to the Lord.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Sherem

​SHEREM. The first of the many Anti-Christs, who, at various times, appeared among the Nephites and endeavored by their teachings to lead the people from the principles of the Gospel. He appeared in the land of Nephi towards the close of the life of Jacob, the son of Lehi, and openly taught that there would be no Christ nor necessity for atonement. He was a type of many who came after, for no matter how these apostates differed on lesser matters, they almost universally denied the coming of the Savior, and taught that the faith of the Nephites in His appearing was a snare and a delusion. Sherem was a man of many words, much given to flattery, and well acquainted with the language of his nation, and withal very zealous in spreading his pernicious doctrines, so much so that he was successful in misleading many. Full of deceit and presumption, he contended with Jacob, denied the Christ and blasphemously called for a sign. A sign was given him. On Jacob's praying to the Lord, Sherem was smitten to the earth by the power of God, and though he was nourished for many days he eventually died. The day before his death he called the people together and acknowledged his impiety and iniquity. He confessed Christ and told the people plainly that he had been deceived by the power of the devil, and had lied unto God. He died with the terrible thought haunting him that he had committed the unpardonable sin. His confession and death wrought mightily among the people; schism ceased for the time being, and the unity of the church was re-established.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Sherrizah

​SHERRIZAH. A fortified city mentioned by Mormon in his second epistle to his son Moroni. It was the scene of horrible brutalities during the great war between the Nephites under Mormon, and the Lamanites commanded by king Aaron. ​When the Lamanites captured the tower of Sherrizah they fed their female prisoners on the flesh of their husbands and fathers, and tortured them by withholding sufficient water to quench their thirst. The contending forces also carried away all the provisions, leaving the aged and the children to starve. Mormon says, "the sufferings of our women and our children upon all the face of this land, doth exceed anything; yea, tongue cannot tell, neither can it be written."
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Shiblom (II)

​SHIBLOM. A Nephite general, who commanded a corps of ten thousand men in the last great struggle between the Nephites and the Lamanites. He, with all his command, was slain in the final series of battles in the land Cumorah, when the Nephite nation was annihilated. (A. C. 385.)

​MORE (JOHN), Assigns of [i.e., Miles Fletcher, John Haviland, and Robert Young], 1629-61. On January 19th, 15 James I [1618], letters patent were granted to John More or Moore, Esquire, for the sole printing of all books of the Common Law, Statutes, as well as Rastell's and Poulton's Abridgements, for a term of forty years, on the expiration of the patent previously held by Thomas Wight and Bonham Norton, which expired on March 10th, 162 8/9. Whether or not More himself actually printed is uncertain, but he provided a stock of type. On May 1st, 1629, he assigned over all his printing rights to Miles Fletcher and his partners John Haviland and Robert Young, for an annual payment of £60 and a third of the profits. John More died on August 17th, 1638, leaving this annuity to his daughter Martha, the wife of Richard Atkyns, q.v. This legacy was the subject of a law suit which ended disastrously for Fletcher, who, after the death of his partners, had made a verbal assignment of his ​rights to the Company of Stationers for a cash payment of £200, but subsequently refused to carry it out, alleging that by a decree made in the Court of Chancery the patent was vested in Richard Atkyns.

Pellew, with whom, in the Culloden, after having officiated for some time as Flag-Lieutenant to Vice-Admiral Albemarle Bertie at the Cape, he returned to England in 1809.

While in that ship, he assisted at the bombardment of Copenhagen in Sept. 1807, served for some time off Lisbon under the flags of Sir Chas. Cotton and Sir Wm. Sidney Smith, and, on 25 July, 1809, was wounded in the head, while employed, as Midshipman, in the boats of a squadron under Capt. Thos. Forrest, in a long and desperate action with a Russian flotilla, near Fredericksham, in the Gulf of Finland, which, although the British lost 60 men in killed and wounded, terminated in the total defeat of the enemy, of whom 87 met a similar fate. Mr. Elvy was afterwards one of the few who were saved from the Minotaur, when she was lost, on the Haak Sands, at the mouth of the Texel, 22 Dec 1810. From the latter period he remained a prisoner of war at Verdun until May, 1814, when, hostilities being at an end, he was allowed to return to England. He obtained his commission 4 March, 1815; but has not since been employed.
Lieut. Elvy, we understand, still suffers acutely from the effects of the wound he received in the Baltic.
