The plains in Winter.--A wild Moor, like Othello.--Mountains in the distance forty thousand miles above the level of the highest sea (Musiani's chest C included).--If you don't believe this you can go there and measure them for yourself.

Mormondom, sometimes called the City of the Plain, but wrongly; the women are quite pretty.--View of Old Poly Gamy's house, &c.

Kimball.--You can see, by the expression of his back, that he is thinking what a great man Joseph Smith was.
