Excerpt from Sacred Poetry and Music Reconciled: Or a Collection of Hymns, Original and Compiled, Intended to Secure, by the Simplest and Most Practicable Means, an Invariable Coincidence Between the Poetic and the Musical Emphases The design of the following collection ofhymns was announced. And in some measure delineated in a communication, published in the Christian Disciple for March and April, 1821 and before the close of the followrng year, the work was prepared for the press. Considerations, which may have had too little, or too much influ ence on the mind of the author, have delayed the publication till this time. After several revisions, however, and some alterations, suggested by reflection, experiment, or the advice of friends, it is now offered to the public, and humbly solicits a candid and critical examination from every ptrson of piety and musical taste. The most essential characteristic, the peculiar object of this collection, is that which is presented singly in the title page, though it is far from being the only improvement, that has been attempted. This object, as it is there stated, is 'to secure, by the simplest and the most practicable means, an invariable coincidence between the po etic and the musical emphases, and thus to combine the two powers, for the high purpose of religious irnpression.'
