Summary "Scrap Book of Mormon Literature, Volume 2 (of 2)" by Ben. E. Rich et al. is a collection of religious tracts likely compiled in the late 19th century. This volume features various writings related to Mormon belief, historical accounts, and testimonies surrounding Joseph Smith, the founding prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as well as discussions on doctrines and principles of the faith. The book serves as a compilation of perspectives that aim to explain and defend the tenets of the Mormon faith, offering insights into its doctrines, principles, and historical claims from both supporters and critics. The beginning of the volume opens with a statement by Josiah Quincy, the former Mayor of Boston, reflecting on his interview with Joseph Smith in 1844. Quincy's remarks highlight Smith's prophetic claims, including predictions about the Civil War and the influence of slavery in America. The early pages also outline the context of Joseph Smith's life, the establishment of the Latter-day Saints Church, and societal reactions—including persecution—against the Mormons. Rich's compilation emphasizes testimonies and doctrinal insights that collectively argue for the legitimacy of Smith's prophetic role and discusses the profound impact of his teachings, setting the stage for further examination of Mormon literature and beliefs throughout the rest of the book.
