De Vere, M. Schele. Americanisms; The English of the New World. Charles Scribner & Company: New York, 1872.
The author introduced a ridiculous theory about where the name “Mormon” came from.  He said it comes from an author back in the 1600s named Montmor and that it means “a scarcrow!” Furthermore he said that Mormonism was the “most gigantic of all impostures since Mahomet’s days.”
