From the Preface: "'A Comprehensive History fo the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' is the 'History of the Mormon Church' that was published in the Americana from June 1909 to July 1915, now revised by the author and brought up to date of April 6th, 1930, A.D.
The Americana was a monthly periodical published by the 'American Historical Society' of New York, of which Mr. David I. Nelke, at the time, was president. The Americana had succeeded a bimonthly journal, known as the American Historical Magazine, published by the same society. and of a character indicated by its title.
The circumstances which led to the publication of 'History of the Mormon Church' in the Americana may be of some interest. A gentleman in New York, formerly a practicing lawyer in Salt Lake City, wrote a series of four articles on the 'Origin of the Book of Mormon,' revamping with some variations the old and time-worn 'Solomon Spaulding Theory' of the book's origin. These articles appeared in the American Historical Magazine from the September number of 1906, to the May number of 1907. Believing that the publication of this series of articles-- written with some skill and great pretensions at exhaustiveness-- afforded an opportunity for disposing once for all of the 'Spaulding Theory' of the origin for The Book of Mormon, the author of this History asked the publishers of the American Historical Magazine for the privilege of answering this series of articles. This was granted, and the answer was published in four numbers of the magazine, from September, 1908, to March, 1909.
When the final number of this breif series was published, the writer was surprised to receive an invitation from Mr. David I. Nelke, the president of the Historical Society, to write a detailed 'History of the Mormon Church,' for publication in the American Historical Magazine...
So introduced let the History stand as we trust it will be found, a comprehensive and true statement of the things that have occurred in the development of the New Dispensation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in these last days. That it is entirely free from errors no one with a knowledge of bookmaking would expect; but so far as the author's ability and industry and care could preserve it from error, either of fact-statement or deduction, it is free from errors of which the author could be conscious."
