We regret to learn that the word "carelessly," applied (p. 35) to the enlargement of Worcester's Select Hymns, in 1834, has been understood as referring to the whole execution of that enlargement, instead of the two hymns to which alone it was meant to apply. These hymns are the 370th and 411th, the originals of which are the 215th Select and the 14th of Dr. Watts's 3d Book. And as regards even these, we are happy to retract the charge implied, inasmuch as we find that the esteemed editor considered them so much more available and suitable for public worship in their altered form, as to warrant their insertion among his additions, while he was precluded by his plan from making any change in the already existing portion of the collection. SPECIAL NOTICE. The NAMES OF THE AUTHORS of the Articles in this Number will be found on the fourth page of the Advertiser. Attention is particularly called, also, to the advertisement of Back Numbers, and of "Imperfect Sets" of the New Englander. |
