The collection contained 166 hymns Foote 1; this 1823 edition contains over fifty psalms and nearly three hundred hymns by the likes of Watts Doddridge Barbauld Steele and Tate and Brady as well as Sir Walter Scott 'When Israel of the Lord Beloved' and numerous hymns translated from German or Italian.'In giving the names of the authors it should be stated that many of the psalms and hymns have undergone alterations in the hands of different compilers; and that in some of them but few of the original features remain. In this collection many alterations have been adopted and other alterations made. Those which were written or translated for this work or which are now first introduced into such a collection are marked thus .

1867réf. 711New York: American Bible Society 1867. 3/4 cloth. Very Good . 12 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches. Folio. 1 872 974 leaves. Printed in raised letters for the blind. Tears to upper margin of front endpapers and edges lightly soiled. Bound in contemporary 3/4 black leather and black cloth which is worn at edges. A scarce early American edition of its kind. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries several decades before the widespread adoption of Braille printers and educators in France and Britain began developing a variety of tactile reading systems for the visually impaired making independent reading among the blind possible for the first time in history. The results of an important competition at the Royal Society of Arts in Edinburgh in 1832 inspired the American activist Samuel Gridley Howe to research and develop his own embossed reading system for the blind which emerged in 1835 as "Boston Line Type." Drawing upon the methods of James Gall an entrant in the Edinburgh competition Howe created an alphabet of angular raised roman letters that "was said to be far less bulky and therefore less expensive than contemporary European roman-letter systems" PRINTING HISTORY p. 20. With the aid of a $1000 grant from the American Bible Society Howe purchased the first printing press for the New England Institution for the Education of the Blind today the Perkins School for the Blind and produced the country's first complete raised-letter Bible for the American Bible Society in 1842. The present Book of Psalms appears to have been printed with the first complete Howe-ABS Bible retaining the pagination of that production and was published separately with a new title page. ABS had published Selections of Psalms in 1835 and the Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind a Psalms and Hymns in 1840 and 1848 this is a very early edition of the Psalms.

Finely bound in gilt-panelled brown morocco furnished in silver. The King James Version splendidly preserved in an English Restoration binding of gilt-panelled dark brown morocco furnished in silver with engraved centrepieces bearing the monogram 'AA' and the armorial device of three mullets or six points pierces cornerpieces and clasps in full working order. Binding 'furniture' originally served a functional purpose with bosses and cornerpieces helping to protect the covers from wear and tear and clasps employed to prevent the parchment leaves of manuscript books from warping. The advent of paper and the movement away from wood to pasteboard had largely made these features redundant by the end of the seventeenth century. Instead as here metalwork survived as a decorative feature which enhanced the binding of important devotional works whilst also helping to keep these texts which were more likely to be carried about secure see David Pearson English Bookbinding Styles 1450-1800 pp26-30. Our example is bound without the Apocrypha. Darlow and Moule note that the Apocrypha in their example no. 469 is possibly supplied from another edition and that a different copy is lacking the Apocrypha.
