A committee, appointed by the General Synod of 1788, published in 1789 a new Psalm book, containing by request, some well composed hymns. In 1814 Dr. Livingston expanded the collection of hymns; the Synod adopted his book which became the basis of the denominational hymnody. In 1831 it became Book 1 of the enlarged edition, and the 172 Additional hymns became Book 2--Cf. Benson.
