The reader is also left to wonder about its relationship to the Dictionary of North American Hymnology project sponsored by the Hymn Society in the United States and Canada, which catalogs the texts printed in nearly every major hymnal published in North America from the 1640 Bay Psalm Book to the late twentieth century. Among the volumes he gave to the Society are such rarities as the first book printed in British North America, commonly known as the Bay Psalm Book (1640);John Eliot's Indian Bible (1663), translated into the Algonquian language; and the first American edition of Mother Goose's Melody (1786). During the late-seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, the most popular psalters in the New World were the Bay Psalm Book (1640) and Thomas Sternhold and John Hopkins's Whole Book of Psalms (1562, the "Old Version"), the former used principally by Congregationalists, the latter by Baptists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, and others. |
