  scan: University of California Libraries (Bancroft Library) copy of the 1866 Liverpool edition, Internet Archive
  transcription: OCR text of the 1866 scan, with line-break hyphens joined, running heads and page numbers removed and obvious scan errors corrected; printed pagination kept as page markers. The 1837 first edition (Internet Archive item per_utah-and-the-mormons_pp-pratt_1837) and the 1854 Liverpool printings exist on the Internet Archive, but their OCR is too poor to reproduce reliably.
curator_note: Chapter VII sets the Doctrine of Christ and the doctrines of men in parallel columns in the original; the text here follows the scan reading order. Treated as a Mormon primary source, included for historical and doctrinal study; inclusion does not imply endorsement.
