[Nauvoo Temple] The Times and Seasons reprinted an article from the Salem Advertizer and Argus, giving an account of a lecture by J. B. Newell in which he described the Temple, including a drawing made by him from the architect's sketches. Newell stated that the finished building would be one of "the most beautiful, chaste, and noble specimens of architecture to be found in the world."
