Opis: The Wesleyan Psalmist, or Songs of Canaan - Scudder M. L.

Excerpt from The Wesleyan Psalmist, or Songs of Canaan: A Collection of Hymns and Tunes Designed to Be Used at Camp-Meetings, and at Class and Prayer Meetings, and Other Occasions of Social Devotion

No further apology can be necessary for Issuing this edition of the "Wesleyan Psalmist" enlarged and much improved from its precedent, the Songs of Canaan, than to say that all of a very large edition of the latter work have already been sold, and orders are frequently received for more. It is but proper to state that this work although in one sense a second edition will be found to have many claims beyond the former - 1st. Many new tunes of great popularity are introduced. 2. Although the price is nearly the same, It will contain about twice the number of tunes and more than twice the number of hymns. 3. It will be printed on much better paper, and much better executed. 4. Owing to the haste in which the former edition passed the press, many errors escaped uncorrected; it is believed that this will be a more correct edition. And 5th. Great pains have been taken in the selection of several appropriate Hymns to most of the tunes so as to render it a proper supplement to the regular Hymn book both in the class and Prayer meeting. It has been thought best by those concerned to fix the price of this work so low that all who wish may readily be able to supply themselves.

It might not be anticipated that such a work as this would be found beyond strict criticism, yet it is hoped that as little occasion for this is given as in the nature of the case could be expected.

The compiler feels indebted to Mr. J. B. Packard for the considerable aid he has afforded him in harmonizing and arranging many of the tunes in this little book; also to several of the members of the Providence, new England and New Hampshire Conferences for their willing and efficient services - may we sing with the Spirit and with the Understanding also.
