Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

The subscriber having been frequently solicited to arrange and compile a complete Concordance to the Holy Bible, designed for those professing the faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is the only apology offered for issuing this Prospectus.

The subscriber proposes to publish, (providing there can be enough subscribers obtained before issuing to pay for the work when issued, if not it will not be published,) a convenient Concordance to the scriptures, adapted to the doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, upon the following plan:

A particular subject; for instance the "Millennium," will be inserted as a general head; and the principal sentence of every passage that either directly or indirectly refers to this subject, will be quoted, and the chapter and verse referred to. A prominent word of each passage will be abbreviated and alphabetically arranged, which will render the work convenient, so that any passage may be quickly and easily found.

Thus each subject will be a Concordance in and of itself. Passages referring to the subjects of the Gospel of Christ, Organization of the Church, Second Coming of Christ, Millennium, &c. &c. will be quoted or referred to.

Passages quoted and applied to prove Calvinism, Universalism, &c., &c., will also be referred to.

This work when ready for publication will be the product of much labor, and a long and tedious application of the mind to the study of the scriptures, as must be apparent to every one.

It will be printed on an excellent quality of paper, and with small sized type.-The probable size of the work will be from two to three hundred 18mo. pages The price of the work will probably vary from fifty to seventy five cents per copy, according to the quality of binding. Every subscriber will be expected to pay as soon as the work is delivered.

Any person can subscribe for as many copies as he is disposed.

Elders, or any one who will act as an agent to procure subscribers, will be allowed a reasonable per centage [percentage]. All agents are requested to forward the names of the subscribers, the places of residence, and the number of copies subscribed for, as soon as possible.

If a sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained the work will be published this winter or early in the spring.

All letters on business must be post paid, and addressed to the subscriber, No. 214 Noble St. Phil. B. WINCHESTER.
