Additional Details

First English edition of a tract based on Joseph Smith's 1841 revelation, asking the rulers of the earth to join in the work of the church. Less controversially, it requests rights for the beleaguered Saints: "Extend the broad banner of the constitution and laws over their homes, cities, firesides, wives, and children, that they may cease to be butchered, martyred, robbed, plundered, and driven." Crawley 285 (see 256 for first edition); Flake 1512.
