Note 745 — Chapter II
Reading edition
The recognition of the theory in the Mormon bible is well known. Bancroft (v. 97) epitomizes its recital, following Bertrand’s Mémoires. There is a repetition of the old arguments in a sermon, Increase of the Kingdom of Christ (N. Y., 1831), by the Indian William Apes; and in An Address by J. Madison Brown (Jackson, Miss., 1860). Señor Melgar points out resemblances between the Maya and the Hebrew in the Bol. Soc. Méx. Geog., iii. Even the Western mounds have been made to yield Hebrew inscriptions (Congrès des Amér., Nancy, ii. 192).
