Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on Psalmody: Addressed to the Worshippers of God
The following pages are merely a reprint, with a partial change of arrangement, and the addition ofa few Notes, of a pamphlet published in the year 1834. The original publication had special reference to the practice of the Presbyterians of King's County, in the Province of Nova Scotia, among whom the author came to reside the previous year, and who formerlv used Watts' Imitation of the Psalms of David, in conjunction with the Paraphrases appended to the Songs of Zion also, under the auspices of the Established Kiri; of Scotland. The writer considers it one of the happiest circumstances of his life, that he was honoured by the Head of the Church to be instrumental in leading Presbyterians, within the sphere of his labours, to exclude the Songs of Watts and introduce those of the Sweet Singer of Israel, and that the fruit of his labotlr shall abide, whatever change may pass upon his position or his prospects.
