The Divine Vision 1957 as well as Essick's numerous references to Watts in the edition of Blake's "Songs" issued by The Huntington Library.

180248236Boston: J. & T. Fleet 1802. Good. Lovely chapbook edition of a selection of Isaac Watts's hymns bound in an attractive vernacular wallpaper wrapper. Just because this edition of Watts's hymns adapted for a young audience was made to be inexpensive didn't mean it had to be unattractive. At least that's what an early owner seemed to be thinking when they added a wrapper of blue and green wallpaper with a floral design skillfully centered on the front cover. A lovely example of the early 19th century American propensity to use materials efficiently and a peek into the interior of a well-to-do house of the period. 6.25'' x 3.25''. Early vernacular stiff wrappers of blue and green floral wallpaper. 44 pages lacking front and rear blanks and leaf C4; bottom 2/3 of leaves B3 and B4 perished. Wrapper with might rubbing and soil mild edgewear. Leaves with toning and scattered soil some edgewear; wallpaper offsetting a bit to first and final pages. Sound. J. & T. Fleet unknown

185011969New York: American Tract Society ca 1850. Pamphlet. Good. Printed wrapper back detached and present 11 x 7 cm 4 1/4 x 2 7/8 inches. 1853 owner's inscription on the ffep. Frontispiece wood engraving plus many more in the text; 88 pages with light foxing. This includes The Catechism of Scripture Names; The First Catechism; The Second Catechism extracted from Dr. Watts; and A Preservative from the Sins and Follies of Childhood and Youth.Isaac Watts 1674-1748; English Independent minister author and hymn-writer. "Watts was one of the most popular writers of his day. His educational materials - the 'Catechisms' 1730 and the 'Scripture History' 1732 were still standard works in the middle of this the 19th century. His philosophical books especially the 'Logic' 1726 had a long circulation; so also had his 'World to Come' 1738 and other works of popular divinity. The best of his works is 'The Improvement of the Mind' 1741 which Johnson eulogises.The poetry of Watts took the religious world of dissent by storm. It gave an utterance till then unheard in England to the spiritual emotions in their contemplation of God's glory in nature and his revelation in Christ and made hymn-singing a fervid devotional force.The Calvinism of Watts was of the milder type which shrinks from the doctrine of reprobation. He held liberal views on education. His tolerance and love of comprehension degenerated at times into weakness; as in his proposal to unite the Independents and Baptists by surrendering the doctrine of infant baptism if the baptists would give up immersion. His learning and piety attracted a large circle including Doddridge Lady Hertford afterwards Duchess of Somerset the first Lord Barrington Bishop Gibson Archbishop Hort and Archbishop Secker. The university of Edinburgh gave him an honorary D.D. degree 1728." - DNB. American Tract Society unknown
