Andrew F. Ehat and Lyndon Cook have published The Words of Joseph Smith, a collection of original reports of the Prophet's discourses. As volume six in BYU's prestigious Religious Studies Monograph Series, the book contains reports or references to 173 addresses given by Joseph Smith during his Nauvoo years as reported by about forty of his contemporaries. The volume is attractively printed and organized in an easytoread chronological format. The editors have provided extensive historical notes and a comprehensive index to all scriptural references used in the discourses.Besides the original reports of speeches published in the History of the Church, The Words of Joseph Smith contains numerous additional reports heretofore unpublished. Since many reminiscences exist containing statements attributed to Joseph Smith, the editors' intent has been to include only contemporaneous reports of the Prophet's words. Their work provides a useful standard by which the reliability of the reminiscences may be evaluated. Furthermore, since the editorial procedures of the 1850s that governed the first publication of the Joseph Smith discourses consisted of combining multiple reports of a speech into a single account, this volume by identifying individual reports permits a study of nineteenthcentury editorial methods. Beyond this, the publication by Ehat and Cook of those multiple reports of a given address allows the reader to evaluate the effectiveness of the reporting process in the absence of verbatim reporting skills. Finally, the reader comes away with a healthy respect for those whose sense of history motivated them to write what they heard in a day when institutional recordkeeping procedures were not fully developed.'
