ORIGIN OF POLYGAMY.

From Mr.. Charles A. Shook. the
author, we have a substantial pamph.
let of 223 duodecimo pages on "The
True Origin of Mormon Polygamy. :"
Mr. Shook traces this origin direct to
Nauvoo, and brings what he considers
complete proof that it was introduced
into the church by the "prophet' Jo
seph +. Smith himself. The work is
vigorous one, uncompromising and di-
rect. 1t was doubtless sufficient for the
aauthor s purpose TO trace the origin of
polygamy TO Joseph Smith, Jr. He
might easily have gone further and
traced il to the same source twelve or
fourteen years before the date Of Its
promulgation and practice in Nauvoo.
However, as il was his purpose TO trace
the origin direct and positively TO Jo-
seph Smith, Jr., his purpose has been
fully achieved
