The Story of Mormonism is a revised and reconstructed version of lectures delivered by Dr. James E. Talmage at the University of Michigan, Cornell University, and elsewhere. The "Story" first appeared in print as a lecture report in the Improvement Era, and was afterward issued as a booklet from the office of the Millennial Star, Liverpool. The second section of this book, The Philosophy of Mormonism, was first presented as a lecture delivered by Dr. Talmage before the Philosophical Society of Denver.
