The Doctrine and Covenants is a part of the scriptural canon of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This 1835 edition contains two parts. First are the "Lectures on Faith," which set forth basic church doctrine. Second are the "Covenants and Commandments," a compilation of revelations, or "covenants" of the church. The Lectures on Faith were removed from later editions.
Printing began in 1832 at a print shop in Independence, Missouri, owned by William W. Phelps. The printing was nearly complete in July 1833 when a mob ransacked the press shop. Several Saints risked their safety to salvage pages during the attack. Members both in Missouri and in Kirtland, Ohio, bound the salvaged pages into a few incomplete books, but the hoped-for release of thousands of copies was thwarted. Church leaders soon began another effort to publish the revelations They succeeded in 1835, publishing them in Kirtland under the title The Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, which the Saints sustained as “a law unto the church” and a “rule of faith and practice.
