The Mormons Unmasked. By C. Sheridan Jones. (Jarrold and Sons.

Is. net.)—Mr. Jones, after telling the story of the rise of Mormonism, describes, apparently from knowledge of the facts, the present proceedings of the emissaries of this faith in this country and of the rulers at home. The two things are, of course, in close relation. Offenders under the law against polygamy are now tried by State juries and acquitted ; it is proposed to make it an offence against Federal law, and this proposal the Mormon leaders are endeavouring to defeat by increasing their Church membership. Hence their proselytizing zeal. The ques- tion is, How can this zeal be counteracted ? Mr. Jones proposes to establish an Anti-Mormon League. We doubt whether it would work very effectively.
