Excerpt from The Psalms of Life: A Compilation of Psalms, Hymns, Chants, Anthems, &C, Embodying the Spiritual, Progressive and Reformatory Sentiment of the Present Age
Among the many collections designated as Hymn, and Music Books, already published, this new compilation certainly possesses the characteristic of originality, inasmuch as its Editor has entered a new field, and gathered material never before used for a like purpose.
Similar works are, for the most part, mere repositories of the thoughts and feel ings of the Past, while the mind continually yearns for the Inspirations Of the Present. The Psalms and Hymns they bring to us were written for a previous generation, - for a people subject in their daily life to other surroundings, and actuated by motives differing in many essential particulars from those that govern us. Hence, they were adopted by them as the representatives of their spiritual faith and aspirations; but to suppose them to be adapted to every people and every occasion, is neither wise nor just.
