Journal of Discourses

This edition is a photo lithographic reprint of the exact original edition. The original edition was published in Liverpool, England between 1855 and 1886 and contains the major trends of the religious thinking of over 100 authorities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during this third of a century. Most of the discourses in the earlier volumes were by the First Presidency and members of the Council of Twelve Apostles. Later the sermons of other members of the General Authorities, and some of the more outstanding missionaries, teachers, writers and others are represented. While the majority of them were delivered in Salt Lake City, a considerable number were made in other cities and towns throughout Utah and Idaho. A few were delivered by Joseph Smith and others, years before 1854.The Index was compiled and edited at Brigham Young University under the direction of Newbern I. Butt of the BYU Library and was published in 1959.
