Passage from the New York Herald, May 30, 1843: They were brought up and shown to Joseph Smith. He compared them in my presence with his Egyptian alphabet, which he took from the plates from which the Book of Mormon was translated... (it should be noted that the non-Mormon writer was in error when he assumed that the "Egyptian alphabet" was associated with the Book of Mormon - it was a document that was created after the translation of the Book of Abraham.)
