Author Description

Excerpt from A Collection of Hymns for the Use of the Wesleyan Methodist Connection of America IN presenting to you this Hymn Book, it is proper for us to say, that we have availed ourselves'of such means as were within our reach, to make it what it should be. We have, however, labored under one disadvantage: we have been obliged to hurry the work too much. We should have had six months at least to prepare the copy, before putting it to press. But such was the urgent call of our friends for the work, that it was thought best to put it to press before the copy was all pre pared. The first three hundred pages only had been selected when the work went to press. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
