Liverpool: Printed by J. Tompkins...for Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, and Parley P. Pratt. By order of the Translator, 1841. 18mo. (5 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches). [4],634,[637]-643pp. Publisher's dark green morocco, flat spine lettered in gilt. Expert repairs to joints. Housed in a black morocco box. The fourth, and first European edition of the Book of Mormon. Published under the guidance of Brigham Young, who evidently was not aware of the 1840 edition at the time of publication, and so used the text of the Kirtland edition. "In this edition the testimonies of the witnesses, formerly at the end of the volume, were transferred to the front, as they now appear in all later editions, and an index was added at the end. This index is a revision of the one printed separately at Nauvoo in 1840, with a few corrections and added words. According to Elder Joseph Fielding Smith, the book was entered at Stationers' Hall in London, February 8, 1841. The contract was for 5000 copies, but only 4050 were delivered. An agreement was made in April, 1841, for the printing of another edition of 950 copies to supply the deficiency, at the expense of the printer, but the agreement was not carried out by the latter" (Sabin).
