This page contains several excerpts from reliable sources that I've collected on the subject of the First Vision. I've put them here primarily for my own use, but others are free to use them as well. I have scanned a few pages from each book and made them available for viewing as pdfs. I feel this qualifies as fair use, but if somebody disagrees I can easily take them down.
