Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lyra Domestica: Christian Songs for Domestic Edification
Dotes or information respecting the author. All, however, I have yet been able to learn, has been derived from a notice in the Convex/anom Lexz'con, and confifts chie?y of a meagre fketch of the leading incidents in Spitta's life, which will, I fear, prove fcarcely more interefiing to the Englifh reader than the firefide adventures of the Vicar qf Wakefield, or his migrations from the blue room to the brown. There is, however, a portrait at the beginning of the book, engraved from a photograph, which will convey to the reader fome idea of the author's external lineaments, while thofe of his heart and mind are with equal fidelity impreffed on the hymns themselves.
