Books for sale

Ronald D. Dennis, trans. and ed., Defending the Faith: Early Welsh Missionary Publications (Provo, UT: Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University, 2003).

O3 DANIELS, Daniel. Llyfrau ar werth. (Books for sale.) Swansea: D. Daniels, Zion’s Trumpet Office, [1857].

2 pp. 16.5 cm.

This book list is identical to the list bound with Orson Pratt’s Breniniaeth y dyddiau diweddaf (Latter-day kingdom), published in 1857 in Swansea (Welsh Mormon Writings, item 107). It did not surface as a separate item, however, until after the publication of Welsh Mormon Writings.

All previous volumes of Zion’s Trumpet are listed for sale, as is volume III of Prophet of the Jubilee. Besides these two periodicals the following forty-nine titles, listed in Daniels’s order but with Welsh Mormon Writings item numbers, are named: 65, 60, 70, 20, 75, 78, 79, 84, 90, 87, 83, 85, 76, 77, 80, 91, 82, 81, 89, 88, 95, 93, 94, 98, 34, 69, 68, 37, 55, 53, 62, 41, 26, 39, 32, 71, 31, 42, 38, 36, 99, 100–107.

Listed in the final paragraph on page 2 is a variety of Church periodicals and publications in Welsh, English, German, French, Danish, Italian, and Hawaiian.

In the English translation of Books for sale, I have corrected three errors: “Lectures on faith” (for “Lectures on baptism”), “J. Davis” (for “J. Davies”), and “Millennial Star” (for “Millennial Star”).
