Although Other books on Mormonism
have been published, nothing has ever be-
fore been written by real, living, Nor
mon woman, born and brought up in that
strange superstition. Mrs. Young was
born a Mormon, brought up in chat faith,
and knows more of the dark side of the
horrible system than any other living
woman could possibly possess. Her par"
|ents were Mornons, and until years after
her marriage with Brigham Young, she
had never spoken with Gentle.
The book contains over 600 pages and
nearly zoo Illustrations, aud is written
in clear, chaste and literary style.
Mrs. Young has the endorsement of the
Clergy and leading professional men of the
land, who bid her God-speed in her noble
work, and there is good reason to believe
that through her persistent efforts in lee
turing throughout the country, and by a
wide spread circulation of her book, this
Ubiquitous system will be brought to an
end.
Being interested in the sale of the book,
and having rescued her mother and her
two children from this life of slavery, che
devotes her share of the profits to their
support and education; and every copy
sold is cheering help to Mrs. Young In
