Referenced by: English Short Title Catalog T82397. Rosley Books - for Antiquarian books Literature Theology & Church History ISAAC WATTS 1674-1748 is recognised as the 'Father of English Hymnody' as he was the first prolific and popular English hymnwriter credited with some 750 hymns. Many of his hymns remain in active use today and have been translated into many languages. Born in Southampton Watts was brought up in the home of a committed Nonconformist - his father also Isaac Watts had been incarcerated twice for his controversial views. At King Edward VI School where one of the houses is now named 'Watts' in his honour he learned Latin Greek and Hebrew. Watts unable to go to either Oxford or Cambridge due to his Non-conformity went to the Dissenting Academy at Stoke Newington in 1690 and much of his life centred around that village then a rural idyll but now part of Inner London. He died in Stoke Newington and was buried in Bunhill Fields having left behind him a massive legacy not only of hymns but also of treatises educational works essays and the like. His work was influential amongst independents and early religious revivalists in his circle amongst whom was Philip Doddridge who dedicated his best-known work to Watts. On his death Isaac Watts' papers were given to Yale University an institution with which he was connected due to its being founded predominantly by fellow Independents Congregationalists. Sm.8vo.

These include a commitment to systematic meditation which is reinforced by a few illustrations from his own diary kept during his annual monthly retreat in May in the woods near Hoghton Tower. Ambrose's works were highly regarded at the time and continued to be reprinted after his death appearing in Wesley's Christian Library. Alongside Ambrose's unwavering doctrinal Calvinism is a personal warmth that seems to have attracted both gentry and people as well as his fellow ministers." - Oxford DNB. ESTC T223079. Lowndes 35.

Chipping to outer edges with tears to outer edge of pp5 and 6 with minor loss. "Isaac Bickerstaff" is a common pseudonym in almanacs. Erroneously attributed by Evans to Benjamin West the actual calculator appears to be Nathan Daboll. The similarities in the eclipse predictions and the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages between the present issue and The New England almanack and gentleman's and lady's diary for 1782 New London calculated by Daboll under the pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter indicate a common authorship. Most of the calculations vary to a degree reflecting the difference in the meridian between New London and Providence. West and Carter the publisher severed relations with the 1781 issue. West's almanac was published thereafter at Providence by Bennett Wheeler as the North American calendar while Carter continued the New England almanack over the Bickerstaff pseudonym with which West is often identified.
