Excerpt from Hymns and Poems: Original and Translated
He visited Joseph Smith, the leader, and his two books remain authorities on the subject.
Edward Caswall went first to Chigwell Smealey Grammar School in Essex, and then to King Edward"s Grammar School at Marlborough, Wilts. Gaining a scholarship at the latter, he proceeded to Oxford, where he entered at Brasenose College and matriculated March 15, 1832. Although reading hard in 1836 for his degree of B.A., which he took in that year, he gained but a second class in classics, which is to be accounted for by the distraction of literary pursuits freely indulged in; for, firstly, he was the author of "The Oxonian," a series of papers that appeared in The Metropolitan Magazine; then, in 1835, he brought out Pluck Examination Papers and the Art of Pluck, a witty and scholarly pamphlet, which university life continues to relish. In a letter addressed to the Rev. Henry Form-by, from the Vicarage House, Stratford-sub-Castle, Wilts, February 3, 1843, appended to later editions of this Treatise after the Fashion of Aristotle, the author, abridging some of the Examination Papers, explains the omissions of other portions as "investing certain passages of the Divine Word with ridiculous associations."
