Containing all that have ever come to light of her memorable writings, together with those which have been discovered among the mss. of Herculaneum, likewise every one recently found in the same stone box which held the golden plates of the Book of Mormon.--title page of Mother Goose's Melodies, 1835 Quote

Snow Posted March 29, 2004 Author Report Posted March 29, 2004 Actually this on is not in jest - that was actually on the title page of the 1835 Mother Gooses's Melodies Quote
Guest Starsky Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 It said it was in the same box as the plates? Quote

Guest Starsky Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 Common Snow...get back here and explain yourself! Quote
Guest TheProudDuck Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 Apparently the 1835 Mother Goose had a gonzo sense of humor. Quote
Snow Posted March 29, 2004 Author Report Posted March 29, 2004 Originally posted by Peace@Mar 29 2004, 10:36 AM Common Snow...get back here and explain yourself! There is nothing to explain.Apparently word of the Book of Mormon was so widespread that the publishers included a reference to it in their 1835 title page to lend some tongue-in-cheek credibility to their book. I got the reference from the LDS scholar Teryl Given's book By the Hand of Mormon.I just googled the quote and found it at a Rutger Universtity site but the link is broken. Quote
