Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Psalmody of the Church: Its Authors, Singers, and Uses To the mind of the writer the preface is the most difficult and embarrassing portion of his work, because he is there expected to put himself into a sort of personal contact with his readers, and furnish them an explanation of his conduct in having presumptuously attempted to "force another inferior book upon a victimized and much-suffering public." In this case we offer no apology, because our unpretentious little book is of itself a proof that we have no nefarious design against the persecuted public. We will therefore simply explain our position in a few words, and then throw ourselves upon the mercy of our critics. For many years we have been interested in hymnology, and have enjoyed it, both as a profitable study and a delightful pastime. We have read many of the books upon hymns and hymn-writers which have recently been published, and have invariably laid them down with a feeling of disappointment. They are too fragmentary to be entertaining. They are useful as books of reference, but no one thinks of reading them. We have long, vainly waited for some one to write a racy, readable book upon this extremely interesting and fascinating theme; and now - no, dear reader, the "Daniel" is not yet "come to judgment," but we believe that when he does come, he will adopt some such plan as we have sketched in this little book. We have tried to write a readable book. We lay no claim to literary ability, and the critical reader will discover innumerable blemishes, for which we bespeak his kind forbearance. We are anxious to have our people interested in their hymn-books, as a means of promoting their personal piety and both popularizing and spiritualizing the psalmody of the Lord´s house.
