Description: WATTS, ISAAC THE PSALMS OF DAVID, IMITATED IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, AND APPLIES TO THE CHRISTIAN STATE OF WORSHIP... NEWBURY-PORT: PRINTED AND SOLD BY JOHN MYCALL[WITH:] HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS, IN THREE BOOKS... NEWBURY-PORT. PRINTED AND SOLD BY JOHN MYCALL. NO STATED PRINT DATE OR EDITION. INSCRIBED TO ELIJAH HARMON IN 1796. Two works in one volume, 12mo (6 1/8 x 3 3/8 in.; 154 x 86 mm). Title page to each section with decorative woodcut border; foxing and staining. Contemporary brown calf; overall rubbed. The first dozen or so pages of the Spiritual Songs books have become detached from the spine. Other pages are still attached however proper care must be taken for a book of this age that has not been restored or altered. Watts was an English Christian minister, logician, and hymn writer (credited with some 750 hymns, earning his title of the "Godfather of English Hymnody"). While Watts’s poetry remained hugely popular both during and after the American Revolution, his frequent references to “Northern Isles,” Britain, and kings, proved awkward for patriotic church-goers. In 1781, Newburyport printer John Mycall brought forth a new edition of Watts’s psalms, from which all references to Britain and its king had been erased by a committee of ministers. Between 1781 to 1832, there would be nine distinct revision projects, yielding at least 75 different editions or printings of Watts’s psalter. A very rare piece of both religious and and New England printing history. I am happy to ship internationally at cost. This will only be shipped with tracking, insurance and signature. No exceptions. Thank you for looking.
