About This Item
Cambridge: Printed for and sold by the Author [et al], 1776.. [3],4-16pp. (lacking the typographic frontis noted in ESTC). Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. A bit tanned, small chip in blank top edge of title leaf, otherwise near very good. First edition of this late, but rather uncommon collection of anti-Deist verse quatrains by the prolific hymn-writer, music teacher and bookseller. According to some sources, Tansúr published 43 anthems and 197 Hymn tunes besides canticles, Anglican chants and cannons. His work was particularly influential on early American hymnology. This title is rather uncommon: ESTC locates only 3 copies, at the BL, Cambridge and NY Historical. ESTC T126402. OCLC: 812579315.
