Orson Pratt introduced the
verse numbering system in the
1879 edition. The verse
assignments havenÕt changed
since then, by the way. The
text was taken from the
corrected 1852 edition.
The text from this edition
was used from 1888 through
1907.
The 1879/1911 LDS editions of
the Book of Mormon contain
many geographical references
which were removed from
subsequent editions.
