Mormon \Mor"mon\, prop. n. (Eccl.)
One of a Christian denomination (The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints) in the United States, followers of
Joseph Smith, who professed to have found an addition to the
Bible, engraved on golden plates, called the

{Book of Mormon}, first published in 1830. The Mormons
believe in polygamy, and their hierarchy of apostles,
etc., has control of civil and religious matters.
[1913 Webster +PJC]

Note: The Mormons call their religious organization The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Its head
claims to receive revelations of God's will, and to
have certain supernatural powers. The church
headquarters are in Salt Lake City, Utah. They form a
substantial fraction of the population of Utah, and at
the end of the 20th centrury their numbers were
increasing due to active proselytization.
