Excerpt from The Christian Harmony: Containing a Choice Collection of Hymn and Psalm Tunes, Odes and Anthems, Selected From the Best Authors in Europe and America; Together With a Large Number of New Tunes From Eminent Composers Never Before Published Where the names of the authors of the tunes were positively known. They have been given; but where several persons claimed the same tune, we have dropped all names, fearing we might not do justice to some of the parties. Many of the tunes appear without any name as author; but we hope no author will think hard of us on this account, ' for we would have given names with pleasure had they been known.
