AP PLICATIO N having been made to the,
Printer, by feme of ths neighbouring parish
es for a number of Psalm I ooks for the use of the
society, (the prelent mode of singing, by giving
cut the line, being thought fodiffonant and unhar
monious,) he begs leave to ley the following before
the publick:
PROPOSALS
For Printing by Subscription,
WATTS's PSALMS.
CONDITION S.
I. They will be printed with a new type, (call by
Mr. Fox. of Pennsylvania) and on good paper.
IL They wi I be put to press as soon as one thou
sand are fubicribed fori
lIL The price to fubferibers will be three and six
pence for each copy, bound in leather, one half
to be paid at the lime of fubferibing, the other
half on the delivery of the book.
Dr. Watts, in his adveftifement to the readers,
fays, " It were to be wished that all congregati
ons and private families would sing as they dj in
foreign Protestant countries without reading line
byline. Though the^Author has done what he
could to make thefenfe complete in every line or
two, yet many inconveniencies will always attend
this unhappy manner offinging; but where it can
not be altered, these two things may give some re
lief.
“ I. LET as many as tan do it bring Psalm-
Books with them, andiook on the words while
they sing, so far as to make he sense complete.
" 11. Le< the d,k re. he whole Psalm over
aloud be^- he begins*to parcel out the lines, t^ht
the people mey have fume notion of what they sing,
and not be forced to drag on heavily through eight
tedious syllables without any meaning, till the next
lines come to give the sense of them."
The Printer expels that the different societies
will afeertain the number of books they may want,
and transmit them to him without delay. Nori
fubferibers must not expeft a single book at the
price above proposed.
