CHURCH PSALMODY, Adapted to Public Worship, selected from Dr. Watts, and other authors. With marks for IN presenting to the public such a work as this, it is obviously proper that something should be said of the object and expectation of its compilers. These may be stated in a few words. It has been their aim and hope to make a selection of psalms and hymns of a highly lyrical character, in respect to sentiment, imagery, language and structure; possessing sufficient elevation and dignity to render them specially adapted to public worship on the Sabbath, and possessing, at the same time, such a variety of subjects and metres, and such a degree of simplicity, warmth, and animation, as should render them suitable for use in all social religious meetings, and in families. They have aimed, also, to render the selection particularly copious in those classes of hymns which are specially adapted to this period of revivals and of religious benevolent institutions and labors, and to various important occasions. From Rev. Dr. Tyler, Portland, to the publishers. GENTLEMEN,-I take this opportunity to acknowledge the receipt of your favor, requesting my opinion of the "Church Psalmody" published by you, "having particular reference to the sentiments contained in the several pieces." After some examination of the work, with this object particularly in view, I do not hesitate to say, that the book, in my opinion, is of a strictly evangelical character, and that it exhibits scriptural truths in a scriptural manner; as the great body of orthodox profestant Christians have held them since the reformation. I have, in common with many others, regretted the omission of certain passages in the psalms of Watts; but I am convinced, from what I know of the character and theological views of the compilers, and by what is contained in other parts of the book, that these omissions were not occasioned by any design to introduce innovations, or to exclude what have been regarded important doctrines. The sentiments contained in the omitted passages, will be found in other pieces which are inserted. I am yours, &c. From President Lord, Dartmouth College. B. TYLER. Whether the compilers of the "Church Psalmody" have taken an unwarrantable liberty in varying the language and arrangement of many of their authors; or whether they have in all instances executed their variations with the best judgment and taste, are questions which will doubtless have a different decision among those who will yet agree in commending the work, as on the whole, admirably adapted to the purposes of such a publication. I regard it as far before any work of the kind within my knowledge. I cannot doubt that its use will become nearly universal in our churches, and have an effect to elevate the character of our public and social worship. N. LORD. Messrs. PERKINS & MARVIN,-About eighteen months have elapsed since the "Church Psalmody was adopted by this church and society. At first, but few of us had any acquaintance with it. Having become in a good degree familiar with it, we value it very highly. It is indeed a rich collection, and will scarcely fail to be regarded, wherever known, as possessing uncommon merit. As a collection of sacred poetry to be read, it presents a feast of singular variety and abundance. As a collection of hymns to be sung, it is, I believe, unrivalled. Desiring, and with much confidence anticipating, its extensive circulation, I am, gentlemen, respectfully yours, Augusta, Me., July 14, 1834. B. TAPPAN. I have examined with considerable care the "Church Psalmody." Containing as it does the great body of Watts's psalms and hymns, pruned of some redundancies, and compressed into a narrower compass; enriched with the addition of several hundred pieces from the best ecclesiastical poets; having an increased variety of metres, and more especially of subjects adapted to the awakened spirit and extended Christian enterprises of the present day; and being at the same time highly fitted to the purposes of musical expression-a point which the editors have labored with much care; I have no hesitation in expressing the opinion, that it is the most perfect compilation of sacred poetry now before the public. Evangelical churches who may adopt this, will, I doubt not, after a little trial, be more than satisfied with their choice. January, 1833. L. F. DIMMICK. The work is also recommended by Rev. E. Pond, and Rev. A. Bond, Professors in the Theological Semimary, Bangor; Rev. Lyman Beecher, D. D., Cincinnati, Ohio; Rev. B. B. Wisner, D. D., Rev. Samuel Green, Rev. William Jenks, D. D., Rev. G. W. Blagden, Rev. Hubbard Winslow, and Rev. A. A. Phelps, Boston; Rev. W. Fay, D. D., Charlestown; Rev. John Brown, D. D., Hadley; Rev. T. B. Skinner, D. D, Andover; Rev. La Gilbert, Newton; Rev. Wm.

We shall probably commence in our next number, if we do not insert entirely, a complete alphabetical list of the names of all the graduates of the New England colleges, dates of their graduation, degrees which have been conferred upon them, &c. Histories of Bowdoin, Yale, Middlebury, Williams, and other colleges, are in a course of preparation; also full ecclesiastical statistics of New York city. A list of all the Presbyterian and Congregational clergymen of Ohio, from the settlement of the State, will also soon be published. The ecclesiastical statistics of the remaining counties of Massachusetts are partly prepared. Various gentlemen well acquainted with local history will assist the editor. In our last number, page 235, third line from the top, instead of Enos Merrill, read Samuel H. Merrill. For blank under "native place," read Buxton, Me. For blank under the head" born," read 1805. For the blank under head "educated," read The Register is published on the first days of August, November, February, and May. Each number will contain from 80 to 90 pages, making a volume of 320 or 340 pages, annually. A list of agents is inserted on the cover of each number. The work is put at the low price of one dollar and fifty cents, with the expectation that there will be a large subscription. On no other ground could it be supported. It will be sent gratuitously to all persons who give to the American Education Society $75 per annum, or the amount of a temporary scholarship. LIST OF AGENTS. HARDY ROPES, Esq.

Extracts from Notices of the work. From the Presbyterian.-" His Memoir will be read with interest by all, and especially by those who enjoyed his personal acquaintance. It is judiciously prepared, and gives, as we conceive, a faithful portraiture of its interesting subject." From the Southern Religious Telegraph." Mr. Edwards has ably performed the important work committed to his hands, in preparing for the public a memoir of this faithful and beloved servant of Christ. The different parts of it are well arranged; extracts from the letters, journals, and other writings of Mr. Cornelius, are happily interwoven with the narrative so as to make him in part his own biographer. The remarks of the author, accompanying these extracts, are generally appropriate and instructive. His style is neat, perspicuous, familiar yet elevated, such as becomes a work of this kind." From the American Baptist Magazine." The incidents of Mr. Cornelius's life are there narrated with great fidelity, and considering the almost entire absence of private records, with remarkable fullness and particularity. It is mere justice to the compiler, to say, that he has prepared the work in a manner that .cannot fail of giving general satisfaction." |
