Collected from the Scirptures II. Composed on Divine Subjects III. Prepared for the Lord's Supper. By Isaac Watts D. D. Corrected and Accommodated for the Use of the Church of Christ in America. Brookfield: Printed by E. Merriam & Co. 1816.An interesting edition as we are unable to find another physical copy published by Elijah Burbank of Worcester. WorldCat lists microform copies. The title with "Corrected and Accommodated to the Use of the Church of Christ in America" was first used in the Mycall Revision of 1781 published at Newburyport. The revision excised references to Great Britain and the English Crown and Americanized a few texts most notably Psalm 75:2-3 "America was doom'd a slave Her frame dissolv'd her fears were great; When God a righteous Council gave To bear the pillars of the State. They from Thy pow'r receiv'd their own And sware to rule by wholesome laws; Thy foot shall tread oppressors down Thy arm defend the righteous cause."It is not an exact reprint of the Mycall Revision for it does not have all of Mycall's titles to the Psalms some of which referenced America. It does have the text of most of those Psalms however. A few other examples: "Our States O Lord with songs of Praise." Psalm 21; "These ransom'd States are all the Lord's Here Abr'ams God is knokwn While pow'rs and princes shields and swords Submit before his throne." Psalm 47; "Amidst our States exalted high Do thou our glory stand And like a wall of gurdian fire Surround the fav'rite land." Psalm 67; "Columbia! praise thy mighty God." Psalm 147 part 2.We invite you to add this scarce hymnal to your collection. Elijah Burbank | E. Merriam & Co., Printers: Brookfield hardcover

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.
