Excerpt from The Presbyterian Juvenile Psalmodist Employed by the Presbyterian Board of Publication to prepare the following work for the press, the Editor has, in the selection of poetic pieces, confined him self chiefly, as was requested, to the new hymns for youth. In setting these to music, he has endeavored to supply simple, striking melodies, adapted to the tastes of the young, yet as free as possible from all profane and secular associa tions. His task has been a difficult, though a pleasant one, and one Which, he trusts, will be kindly appreciated by his youthful readers. W Most of the music in this volume is embraced in the copyright.
