"Apakah Pandangan Ethan Smith tentang Orang Ibrani melengkapi bahan struktural untuk Kitab Mormon Joseph Smith? Telah ditunjukkan di halaman-halaman ini bahwa ada banyak hal dalam buku sebelumnya yang mungkin telah menyarankan banyak hal besar di buku lain. Tidak hanya beberapa hal, satu atau dua, atau setengah lusin, tetapi banyak; dan inilah fakta dari banyak kesamaan dan kekuatan kumulatif mereka yang membuat mereka begitu serius terhadap kisah Joseph Smith tentang asal mula Kitab Mormon"

It has been pointed out in these pages that there are many things in the former book that might well have suggested many major things in the other.Not a few things merely, one or two, or half dozen, but many; and it is this fact of many things of similarity and the cumulative force of them that makes them so serious a menace to Joseph Smith's story of the Book of Mormon's origin
