Excerpt from Psalms and Hymns, Principally for Public Worship: Selected From R. Watts and Other Authors While actually preparing the present Selection, 1 ascertained that there had been recently pub lished two valuable Hymn Books, compiled on principles bearing some resemblance to those which have dictated and guided my attempt. The one, however, contains nearly double the number of Hymns which I consider expedient it}: a Public Hymn Book; and the other omits ehill specification of the names of the Authors, aiid also of the number of Hymns selected from the compositions of Dr. Watts.
