Excerpt from A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for the Use of Universalist Societies and Families The names of the authors so far as I havebeen able to ascertain them, are prefixed. I had wished to insert the hymns just as their authors left them, only omitting such stanzas as were superfluous or objectionable. But alter spending a considerable time in trac mg them back to their original state, end finding that many, which were excellent on the whole, did absolutely require some changes, Iconcluded to take them in the best form in which I could find them, and sometimes to venture my own hsndat their unprove ment.

Excerpt from Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs: Compiled for the Use of Universalist Churches, Associations, and Social Meetings This little volume has been compiled, in order to meet a want which the publishers believed to exist in the Universalist communities of the West. They have long thought it desirable that there should be a more general participation in the musical exercises of Divine worship; and a great obstacle to such a participation has seemed to be the necessarily high price of the hymn-books in former use among us, which prevented more than a limited ownership in our poorer societies.
