The History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is also the history of the opening and progress of the Dispensation of the fullness of Times; and as that dispensation bears an important relation to all dispensations which have preceded it, let us here ascertain in what that relation consists. By doing so we shall have a better appreciation of the full import of those events which make up the history of the Church.In publishing the History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it is felt that a solemn duty is being performed to the Saints and to the world. The events which make up the history of the Church in this age are the most important that history can chronicle. It is due therefore both to the Saints themselves and to the world that a faithful and complete history of the facts in which the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had its origin, together with the events through which it was subsequently developed, and all the circumstances, experiences and trials through which it passed be made known to mankind.Elder B. H. Roberts consulted diaries, printed sources, and remembrances of Church members to prepare a history of the Church that centered mainly on the life of Joseph Smith. Before it was published, Elder Anthon H. Lund and President Joseph F. Smith read and approved the work. The resulting seven volumes, over forty-five hundred pages, known as the History of the Church has since become a great resource to Church members and historians alike.

"That it comes to repeat the great caution of Paul: beware lest any man spoil you (the disciples of Christ), through philosophy and vain deceit, after the traditions of men and the rudiments of the world;" (page 274)
"As this paper is devoted to the great concerns of eternal things and the gathering of the Saints, it will leave politics, the gainsaying of the world, and many other matters, for their proper channels, endeavoring by all means to set an example before the world, which, when followed, will lead our fellow men to the gates of glory, where the wicked cease from troubling, and where the weary will find rest." (Page 275)
"This is from the first issue of The Evening and Morning Star, June 1832) Governor Boggs ... we have sufficient evidence that he sustained all the moves of the mob and even directed them." (Page 435) "Lieutenant Governor boggs has been represented as merely a curious and disinterested observer of these events; yet he was evidently the head and front of the mob;" (Page 437)
The early part of this volume has the first 100 or so revelations that are in the [b:The Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints|2139442|The Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints|Joseph Smith Jr.|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348565984s/2139442.jpg|2978666].
