Account of the life of Jemima Wilkinson 1752-1819 the Rhode Island-born Quaker and Evangelist who claimed after a long illness to have died and been risen from the dead. Through her preaching she became known as the "Universal Friend" creating a Shaker-like sect that practiced celibacy and poverty on a massive property she named "Jerusalem." Some have argued that Wilkinson was an imposter who accrued vast wealth from her followers Howes describes her as "the first religious charlatan of her sex in America". Indeed the sect would not survive after her death. This work first published in 1821 attributed to David Hudson SABIN 33485 and HOWES H-761.

A pro-Mormon review of the ruling from the first freedom of religion case to come before the United States Supreme Court focusing on the Mormon practices of bigamy and polygamy. George Reynolds the plaintiff was secretary to the First Presidency of the LDS Church under Brigham Young. This court case was a response to prosecution attempts under the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act of 1862. Mormons planned to prove that the act was unconstitutional but needed a 'test defendant' to bring the matter before the courts; this led to Reynolds being indicted and found guilty in two trials held in lower courts. Ultimately the appeal to the Supreme Court was unsuccessful and the prison sentence assessed for Reynolds's original conviction held. He was released from prison in 1881 and continued his involvement with the Mormons publishing a number of related books. Henry Reed the 'old lawyer' who wrote this review concludes that the Supreme Court's ruling was unjust stating that "it was in fact Mormonism and its domestic relations that were on trial; and when the Act of 1862 was passed the judgments against them was foreordained. The court has done its work. but they have not done justice. They have won a round of applause of a number of fanatical men and silly women whose fanaticism and silliness so far as lies in their power they have made the law of the land."
