The editor observes in his preface -" As
the use OF the Organ and Piano Forte is becom-
ing common in houses Of public worship, and in
tamilies; and as few have the opportunity to
become so versed in the science of Music, as to
be able to play the harmony, even of plain
Psalmody, from figures it is deemed necessary
10 devise some method of placing it before the
performer on the staff, in such manner as to
be plain and familiar; asd this too without con-
tusing the vocal parts 1t is believed that the
new plan here adopted, Of introducing harmony
on the Bass and Treble Staff, in small notes,
will meet with general appreciation, ard that
this improvement alone is Sufficient to ensure
the book grateful reception.
The metrical tunes are SO arranged, that on
the pages will be found two of different char
acter on such relative keys as will enable choirs
T.. pass readily from one to the other when the
sentiment of the words of the same hymn re-

veDience mi be very obvious.
The book is divided into two parts, tor the
purpose of introducing occasional pieces, pecu
llarly calculated TO interest singers in cultivat.
ing skill in execution, time, &c.
1t is believed that there is in this collection
a larger proportion Of music which has never
before been published thqn has been inserted

Many of the common tunes have been ar
ranged and harmonized by Mr.. Hansen, Pro,
fessor Of Music in Boston, and Organist at

In addition to MIR. Hansen, the editor is I'M

The publishers have determined that the per-
