Description: The Psalms of David, In Metre: Translated and Diligently Compared with the Original Text, and Former Translations, More Plain, Smooth, and Agreeable to the Text, than any heretofore. Allowed by the Authority of the General Assembly of the Kirk of Scotland, and Appointed to be sung in Congregations and Families. Published in Philadelphia by Brower, Hayes, & Co. N.D., 256 pp, 4.5 x 3.75", leather binding. In fair condition with rubbing and wear to soft leather boards and spine. Title page and pp 15-18 disbound, but remainder of binding intact. Previous owner inscription dated 1848. Significant age-related toning to pages. Some creasing to top corners of pages. Please see photographs and ask any questions prior to purchasing. An early 1800s pocket-sized Psalmbook, in nice condition given its age. No date but estimated to be a bit older than a contemporary owner's inscription, dated 1848. A nice example of a metrical psalter, a verse translation of the Biblical Book of Psalms into vernacular poetry, for use as sung hymns during a church service. FORN-ABE-MSB-0422-Shelf-579-am227
