  1. A candid examination of his claims to have translated Ancient Egyptian writings, made in the Light of the best available knowledge of the present day. Smith claimed to have received an ancient book, composed of a number of metal leaves or plates, having the appearance of gold; inscribed with unfamiliar characters, and bound together by rings let into perforations along one edge.

Therefore, he accepted the task; dictating word by word to a transcriber.
