The Book of Mormon and plural marriage, [fascimile], 1961.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/228769935

A facsimile of Tanner's paper asserting that the Book of Mormon has always condemned plural marriage and that Mormon leaders in various periods believed that if Joseph Smith's revelation concerning polygamy were false, the entire Mormon religion would be false. The manuscript is a compilation of annonated citations from numerous religious publications (including the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, History of the Church, and the Bible) and from the writings, speeches, and testimony of several important figures in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Senate hearings on the election of Reed Smoote, a Mormon apostle, to Congress (1904-1907).
