Excerpt from Templi Carmina: Songs of the Temple, or Bridgewater Collection of Sacred Music The public opinion in favour of former editions of this work, has been so fully expressed, by the sale they have met with, that the Proprietors now have it in their power to offer the public'the present enlarged and improved edition. They flatter themselves, that it contains a larger collection of approved church or congregational Music, than can be found in any one book extant. Besides a very competent number of short tunes, in all the variety of measures for usual Sunday service, there is added a selection of Anthems and longer Hymn Tunes, for particular occasions. This will render it more suitable and convenient for the practice and improvement of common schools and church choirs. A considerable proportion of the music has never before been published in this country, and will therefore have all the effect of original compositions. The Proprietors and Compilers have omitted no pains or exertions in their power, to render the work as perfect in all respects, as the nature of the subject will admit.
