On the 25 ult. a letter was read written to Presidents Snow and Cannon and Elder Anthon H. Lund from S. P. Neve, and the following is taken from it as a criticism on Elder Andrew Jenson's work entitled "Church Chronology:"
While the book contains many references to its author and compiler, whose works and movements are paraded as events of great importance, it is silent regarding men far more worthy and much more prominent than himself and whose works are of greater consequence than anything he has ever done.

Cannon's History of Joseph Smith, and his History of Brigham Young, [Edward] Tullidge's, [Huber Howe] Bancroft's and [Orson F.] Whitney's Histories of Utah; B. H. Roberts' Life of John (1)
