Notes
  • "Since the decease of Dr. Watts, many of his Psalms and hymns ... have been much altered, both in sentiment and diction; but these alterations the present editor has carefully avoided. Instead ... he has endeavoured to restore him to his original purity ... A few variations, however ... have become necessary. In some instances, where the original version is local; it is here made to apply to Christian worship in general; and where it is particularly adapted to the British nation and government, it is here varied and suited to the state and events of our own country. ..."--Introduction, p. vi-vii. Signed: Stephen Palmer. Needham, May--1811.
