Text remains clean and legible. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> Isaac Watts was the 'Father of English Hymnody' but his influence in the young United States was arguably even greater than in his native England. In the decades following the Revolution Watts' 'imitations' of the Psalms replaced the older rigid metrical versions like the Bay Psalm Book allowing American congregations to sing with a New Testament perspective. His work provided the soundtrack to the Second Great Awakening and remains the foundation of modern Protestant worship.<br /> <br /> This particular artifact matters because it was produced by Isaiah Thomas and Ebenezer Andrews. Thomas was not just a printer; he was the primary historian of the American press. Books from his Boston office during the Federal Period 1788-1800 were the standard of excellence for a nation struggling to define its own cultural and religious identity.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Isaiah Thomas Early American Printing Hymnology Protestant Worship Federal Period Boston Biblical Paraphrase Hymnody Sacred Music American Imprint Christian Devotional Literature.
