THE CHURCH PSALTER AND HYMN BOOK COMPRISES

I. The Canticles, pointed for chanting, with a large number of single and double Chants, the Athanasian Creed, Twenty-seven Responses, Sixteen Sanctuses, and various Doxologies.

II. The Prose Psalter, or Psalms of David, pointed for chanting, and Chants, with the choice of single and double Chants for every Morning and Evening of the month.

III. 591 Hymns, including several of the finest hymns of the Continent, from the pen of earlier and modern translators, and sterling Tunes, drawn from the most unexceptionable sources, English and Foreign. The best of the Metrical Psalms are incorporated with the Hymns.

IV. The Daily Service, prepared for the use of Cathedrals, several of which have adopted the Work. It comprises the Morning and Evening Prayer, Litany, and Holy Communion set to the Plain Chant, with the harmonies commonly in use at St Paul's and Westminster Abbey. It also contains two musical settings to the Nicene Creed, by Marbeck and by Goss; and two to the "Gloria in Excelsis." The whole of

the portion called "The Canticles" is incorporated.

V. The Collects, Epistles, and Gospels, and most of the Offices.

The Music, which has undergone the careful revision of Sir John Goss, is placed in connection with the words, and is arranged for the Voice, Pianoforte, and Organ.

The Hymns are also printed without the Music in good type, both large and small. The Editions with Music are in three sizes: 4to, 8vo, and 16mo, and in Tonic Sol-fa Notation, and the various combinations are described in the Price List.

The Editions without Music are in four sizes: post 8vo, 18mo, 24mo, and 32mo. The Books are printed on the best paper, and are strongly and handsomely bound in cloth, red edges, gilt lettered. They may also be had in a variety of superior bindings.

"The Psalms and Hymns were selected from the Oxford Edition of the Rev. W. Mercer's Hymn and Psalter Book, which has been adopted in the Royal Chapels by Her Majesty's Command."-Court Circular, October 19, 1866.

The Church Psalter and Hymn Book is now in full and regular use in Her Majesty's Private Chapels; in the Chapel Royal; in several of the Cathedrals; in many Training Colleges and schools; in several of our Colonial Dioceses; in most of the English Chapels on the Continent, and a vast number of Churches in England, Ireland, and Wales.

Clergymen ordering six copies can, on direct application to the Publishers, have the work at a reduction of 25 per cent,

Specimen Copies of any of the sizes will be forwarded by the Publishers, postage free, upon the retail prices being remitted.

PSALMS AND HYMNS FOR DIVINE WORSHIP.

THE PSALTER AND HYMN BOOK OF THE ENGLISH
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

THIS Work contains, in its first section, the metrical translation of the Psalms of David known as the "Scottish Version," with appropriate tunes and chants printed with the text on each page; and, in its second section, upwards of five hundred Hymns and other versions of the Psalms. On each page suitable Music has been printed, selected from the most approved chorales of Germany and the Continent, the English and Scottish Psalters of the 16th and 17th centuries, and the best of our modern Church melodies. A distinguishing feature of the volume is the large number of original compositions which it contains. These have been composed for the work by Calcott, Dibdin, Dykes, Hopkins, Hullah, Macfarren, Mudie, Pearce, Rimbault, Smart, Steggall, Sullivan, and Turle, while many favourite melodies from other collections have, by courteous permission, been included.

Specimen Copies of any of the forms will be sent, post free, on receipt of the published price.
