New-York Telescope, 20 February 1830:
[H]e proceeded to the spot, and found the bible, with a huge pair of spectacles. . . . He is said to have shown some of these characters to Professor Samuel L. Mitchell, of this city, who could not translate them. Martin Harris returned, and set Joseph Smith to the business of translating them: who, “by placing the [Page 132]spectacles in a hat and looking into them, Joseph Smith said he could interpret these characters.”[1]
