"The writer seems to have been impelled to his work by the cry of outraged humanity and a determination to unhood the iniquitous system which is a blot, and may soon become a blight upon our fair land. We follow him, in the same spirit, through the waste places of his sojourn among the Mormons, grateful for the consideration he has shown in suggesting so much without parading noisome details. It is a sight to make the blood course hotly in our veins."

[N. Y. Mirror

"It unquestionably sets forth in a truthful form facts which prove satisfactorily the infamy and evils of the 'system' "
