 The gathering of the data which are the bases 
 of this little book was an offshoot of my general 
 interest in the colledtion of books made for the 
 children of long ago. This field is rich in human 
 interest and leads one into folk-lore and fairyland, 
 a delightful avocation for a man busy in the urgent 
 bread-and-butter (and pie) struggle of to-day. 
 
 It was my intention and ardent desire to put 
 forth this little story in 191 5, to commemorate 
 the two-hundredth anniversary of the first edi- 
 tion of the T>ivine and Moral Songs — but — **the 
 best-laid plans o' mice an' men gang aft a-gley'\ 
 and mine were ruthlessly spilled; so instead of 
 this book appearing in 191 5, the dear old world 
 has made several stormy circuits of its orbit and 
 the chronologers are about to hang out the sign 
 for 1 9 1 9 before a kindly fate permitted the ful- 
 fillment of my heart's desire in this matter. But 
 never mind, I am doubtless the only one to be 
 much annoyed, for the whole of 191 5 passed 
 without the appearance of so much as a news- 
 paper paragraph, so far as I could discover, rela- 
 tive to the momentous fa6t that two hundred 
 years ago an immortal book first saw the light.

 It may be, however, of passing interest to note 
 that the one-hundredth anniversary of the T)ivine 
 Songs was celebrated by the battle of Waterloo, 
 and the two-hundredth anniversary found Europe 
 in the midst of a conflid: to which that celebrated 
 battle of 1815 now seems like boys' play. 
 
 And so, with Herrick I say: 
 
 "Goe thou forth my booke, though late; 
 Yet be timely fortunate, 
 It may chance good-luck may send 
 Thee a kinsman, or a friend, 
 That may harbour thee, when I, 
 With my fates negle6led lye. 
 If thou know'st not where to dwell, 
 See, the fier's by: Farewell.'*

"The divine and ^^yxVoral Songs 
 of Isaac Watts 
 
 If the New England Trimer was the "little 
 Bible" of New England, Dr. Watts's T>ivine 
 and z^oral Songs has a worthy place beside it as 
 the ''little Hymn-book", not only of New En- 
 gland, but of old England as well. These two 
 juveniles appeared in close sequence and for 
 nearly one hundred and fifty years jointly con- 
 tributed to the infant joys, and doubtless sorrows, 
 of our sturdy ancestors. Even to-day well-nigh 
 everyone is familiar with ''Let dogs delight to 
 bark and bite" and "How doth the little busy 
 bee improve each shining hour"; but alas, 'tis 
 rarely that a knowledge of their authorship is 
 associated with a knowledge of the rhymes. 
 
 When these two little books were in vogue 
 the principal objed: in teaching children to read 
 was to open to them the advantages of the 
 Christian religion. Therefore the children's first 
 essay, after learning their letters, was to acquire 
 a knowledge of the Scriptures and the characters 
 therein portrayed. In the T^rimer the rhymed 
 alphabet began with "In Adam's fall we sinned 
 
 [9] 
 
The T)ivine and (iM^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 air' and ended with "Zaccheus he, did climb a 
 tree, his Lord to see", each illustrated with a 
 thrilling wood-cut. The T>ivine Songs opens 
 with a "General hymn of praise" and closes 
 with the cradle hymn "Hush, my dear, lie still 
 and slumber", all calculated to inculcate grace 
 and wisdom. 
 
 Before the middle of the nineteenth century 
 modern influences toward secularization in edu- 
 cation crowded the New England T^rimer into 
 oblivion, and it has survived only on the shelves 
 of colleftors and in a few reprints as a curiosity 
 of bygone days. The Divine Songs has fared 
 better, as it is still kept in print by one or two 
 of our publishing concerns, and several beautiful, 
 illustrated editions have been issued in very recent 
 years. The New England T^rimer has long been 
 considered as having the highest record of edi- 
 tions and quantity published of any of the old 
 juveniles, but I am convinced that it must yield 
 first place to the T>ivine Songs, There are of 
 record about three hundred and fifty editions of 
 the T^rimer, but I have been able to gather about 
 two hundred and fifty editions of the Divine 
 Songs in the British list and over three hundred 
 in the American list. It would be impossible to 
 state the total number of copies printed, but as- 
 suming that the accepted estimate of six and one 
 
 [lO] 
 
T^he T>ivme and <J^oral So?igs of Isaac Watts 
 
 half million for the 'Primer is approximately 
 corred:, we must grant that the Divine Songs 
 stands with a total number of copies to its credit 
 considerably in excess of that number. 
 
 Isaac Watts, the eldest of nine children, was 
 born at Southampton on the 17th of July, 1674, 
 about sixteen years after the death of Oliver 
 Cromwell. His father was a schoolmaster, a 
 man of excellent mental attainments and a Dis- 
 senter who suffered persecution for his convic- 
 tions, even to the extent of imprisonment. This 
 was during the reign of Charles II, when non- 
 conformity was looked upon as a crime. Young 
 Isaac was reared in this atmosphere of protest, 
 and it is of record that while the father lay in 
 prison "Mrs. Watts was seen sitting on a stone, 
 near the prison door, suckling her son Isaac/' 
 Little Isaac was a precocious child, reading Latin 
 at four, and was known as a boy w^ho loved his 
 books more than his play. The result was that 
 his over-studious habits greatly militated against 
 his health, and during most of his life he was a 
 physical weakling. 
 
 A vivid pen-pid:ure of this anemic boy in his 
 school days is given in a review of a new edition 
 of some of his later works, in the North British 
 Review in 1857. The reviewer writes: 
 
 [II] 
 
The 'Divine and z^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 **In the gloomy reign of James II, the most dili- 
 gent boy in the Grammar School of Southampton was 
 a little Puritan. So tiny, that he would hardly have 
 passed for eleven years of age, he was so grave and 
 good, as to be at once a model and a reproof to his 
 sturdier class-mates; and, although in repose there was 
 nothing peculiarly prepossessing in his pale face, with 
 its prominent cheekbones, and a forehead far from 
 lofty, the moment that some hard question posed the 
 form, the sparkling eye and the light nervous figure 
 quivering with the pent-up answer, betrayed the genius 
 and the scholar. Already he had made good profi- 
 ciency in French, Latin, and Greek, and had delighted 
 his mother, whilst he astonished his companions, by 
 ingenious acrostics and clever impromptu stanzas; and 
 altogether, with his quiet, docile disposition, and his 
 precocious attainments, he made glad the heart of the 
 Rev. Mr. Pinhorn, who, like many a disconsolate pre- 
 ceptor before and since, at last foresaw a dim and dis- 
 tant Ararat, and hailed the youth who should yet 
 'comfort him concerning his work and the toil of his 
 hands.' " 
 
 When he was twenty-two, in 1696, young 
 Watts became tutor to the children of a wealthy 
 friend of his family at Stoke-Newington, and two 
 years later, while thus employed, he preached 
 his first sermon on his twenty-fourth birthday as 
 assistant to Dr. Chauncy, minister of the Inde- 
 pendent congregation in Mark Lane, London. 
 In 1702 he succeeded to Dr. Chauncy's pastor- 
 
 [12] 
 
The T>tvine and <J)(Coral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 ate, taking full charge of the congregation. But 
 his frail health soon necessitated an assistant with 
 whom to share his burdens. 
 
 In Dr. Watts's congregation was Sir Thomas 
 Abney and his family. Sir Thomas was for many 
 years an alderman of the city of London and at one 
 time its mayor. Dr. Watts in 171 2, at the age 
 of thirty-eight, succumbed to the arduous tasks 
 of his ministry and quite collapsed. Lady Abney, 
 ever elert in good works, took the worthy par- 
 son to Theobalds, their country home at Stoke- 
 Newington, for a few weeks' rest and fresh air. 
 His visit has come down to us as a record for 
 length. The weeks sped on and then the years, 
 and still he continued a welcome and honored 
 guest until his death thirty-six years after his ad- 
 vent to that hospitable household. While under 
 the sheltering roof of Theobalds, Dr. Watts 
 wrote several of his justly celebrated works and in 
 171 5 gave to the world the memorable volume 
 oi T>ivine Songs for Children, In graceful ac- 
 knowledgment of his guestship, he dedicated that 
 little book to Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth Abney, 
 the three daughters of Sir Thomas and Lady 
 Abney. One of the two known copies of the 
 first edition of the T)ivine Songs bears on the 
 inside of its front cover in Dr. Watts's hand- 
 writing, "To Mrs. Elizabeth Abney, I. W." 
 Of course Elizabeth, a child of eleven, was not 
 
 [13] 
 
The T>ivine and z^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 **Mrs/' in our present understanding of that term, 
 but "Mistress'', used as an expression of respedt 
 even to children at that time. 
 
 This presentation copy has found a home in 
 the sumptuous library of the late J. Pierpont 
 Morgan, and another first edition of one of Dr. 
 Watts's books in that library is similarly inscribed 
 to another daughter of the Abneys'. 
 
 The Morgan copy of the first edition of ©/- 
 vine Songs was specially bound in red morocco 
 rather elaborately gold-tooled. This copy had 
 an interesting career before reaching its present 
 resting-place. It was picked up by a Nottingham 
 bookseller with a handful of other old books in 
 a country house in 1902, at a cost of less than a 
 guinea for the lot. It had come down to its previ- 
 ous owner from her great-grandfather, Meredith 
 Townsend, co-pastor with Dr. Watts at Stoke- 
 Newington. The bookseller sold it to Mr. James 
 Ward, a collector of Nottingham, for about ;^30 
 and by him it was sold at Sotheby's, after spirited 
 bidding, for ;^I55 to Mr. Morgan's agent. The 
 following Christmas, in a privately printed book- 
 let, Mr. Ward distributed to a few friends a most 
 interesting history of this little volume. 
 
 In the thirteen pages of dedication which ap- 
 pears in the earlier editions of the T>ivine Songs^ 
 Dr. Watts pays pleasing tribute to the hospitality 
 of the Abney family, beginning as follows: 
 
T^he T>tvine and <J)(Coral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 **My Dear Young Friends, Whom I am constrained 
 to love and honour by many ObHgations. It was the 
 generous and condescending Friendship of your Par- 
 ents under my weak Circumstances of Health; that 
 brought me to their Country-Seat for the Benefit of 
 the Air; but it was an Instance of most uncommon 
 Kindness, to supply me there so cheerfully for two 
 Years of Sickness with the richest Conveniences of 
 Life. Such a Favour requires my most affedionate Re- 
 turns of Service to themselves, and to all that is dear 
 to them; and meer Gratitude demands some solemn 
 and public acknowledgment." 
 
 The dedication then goes on to praise not 
 only Sir Thomas and his wife, but particularly 
 their three daughters whose education Dr. Watts 
 superintended, and closes with the following 
 benedidtion : 
 
 ** May the Blessings of his Right Hand more enrich 
 you daily, as your Capacities and your Years increase; 
 and may he add bountifully of the Favours of his Left 
 Hand, Riches and Honour. May his Grace make you 
 so large a Return of all the Kindness I have received 
 in your Family, as may prevail above the fondest Hopes 
 of your Parents, and even exceed the warmest Prayers 
 of Your most Affectionate 
 
 Monitor and Obliged 
 
 Servant, in the daily 
 
 Views of a future 
 
 ' I. Watts.

The T)ivtne and ^JM^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 This quaint dedication was omitted from those 
 editions printed after 1750, but the preface, ''To 
 all that are concerned in the Education of Chil- 
 dren", has persisted to this day in nearly every 
 edition that has come to my observation. This 
 preface is addressed to "My Friends'', and be- 
 gins **It is an awful and important Charge, that is 
 committed to you. The Wisdom and Welfare of 
 the succeeding Generation are entrusted with you 
 beforehand, and depend much on your Con- 
 dud: Verse was at first designed for the Service 
 
 of God, though it hath been wretchedly abused 
 
 since What is learnt in Verse, is longer retained 
 
 in Memory, and sooner recolledted These ©/- 
 
 vine Songs may be a pleasant and proper Matter 
 for their daily or weekly Worship, to sing one 
 in the Family, at such time as the Parents or 
 Governors shall appoint; and therefore I have 
 confined the Verse to the most usual Psalm 
 Tunes. The greatest Part of this little Book 
 was composed several Years ago, at the Request 
 of a Friend, who has been long engaged in the 
 Work of Catechising a very great Number of 
 Children of all kinds, and with abundant Skill 
 and Success. So that you will find here nothing 
 that savours of a Party: The Children of high 
 and low Degree, of the Church of England or 
 Dissenters, baptized in Infancy, or not, may all 
 join together in these Songs. And as I have en- 
 
 [16] 
 
The T)ivine and^Moral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 deavoured to sink the. Language to a Level of a 
 Child's Understanding, and yet to keep it (if 
 possible) above Contempt; so I have design'd to 
 profit all (if possible) and offend none/' 
 
 Then he closes with a reference to the oJWoral 
 Songs as follows: "I have added at the End an 
 Attempt or two of Sonnets on Moral SuhjeBs for 
 Children, with an Air of Pleasantry, to provoke 
 some fitter Pen to write a little Book of them." 
 The earliest record I have found of one so ** pro- 
 voked'' is in the preface to Mrs. Barbauld's 
 ** Hymns in Prose, For Children", published 
 about 1775. There she writes, "Among the 
 number of Books composed for the use of chil- 
 dren, though there are many, and some on a 
 very rational plan, which unfold the system, and 
 give a summary of the doctrines of Religion, it 
 would be difficult to find one calculated to assist 
 them in the devotional part of it, except indeed 
 JDr. Watts' s Hymns for Children. These are in 
 pretty general use; and the Author is deservedly 
 honoured for the condescension of his Muse; 
 which is very able to take a loftier flight." 
 
 It is not, however, until the early part of the 
 nineteenth century that I find a work in direct 
 imitation of Dr. Watts's little book. Then in 
 close sequence several volumes of verses for chil- 
 dren appeared, the authors of each of which 
 acknowledged the impetus to their muse from 
 
 [17] 
 
The T)ivine and ^J)(Coral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 Dr. Watts's preface. The first of these was ** Moral 
 Songs for the Instruction and Amusement of 
 Children Intended as a Companion to Dr. Watts' 
 Divine Songs, by John Oakman and Others." 
 This was published in London in 1802 by Darton 
 and Harvey. The preface states, "Whoever fol- 
 lows the manner of another who has been happy 
 in any particular way, however successful he may 
 prove in his labours, will only gain the servile 
 name of an imitator. A man so eminent as Dr. 
 Watts has been in his Hymns and Moral Songs, 
 for the edification of children, it must be granted, 
 there is little hope of following with much suc- 
 cess But as he declared himself there is much 
 
 room left to proceed in the same way, and has 
 in a manner exhorted others to pursue his ideas, 
 the Author of this little book hopes to be ex- 
 cused for the attempt if not applauded." And 
 surely the author of these later ''Moral Songs" is 
 open to the accusation of being a ''servile imi- 
 tator", as witness one extract: : 
 
 Danger of <i^isp ending 'Time 
 
 How craftily the spider weaves, 
 And draws her slender threads ! 
 
 Yet sudden chance her hopes deceives, 
 And spoils the net she spreads. 
 
 Let me not spend my precious hours 
 
 In trifling works like these ; 
 But still employ my a6live pow'rs 
 
 In what may truly please. 
 
 [18] 
 
The T>ivine and zM^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 The style well copied but the inspiration feeble 
 and the moral hardly deducible from the subjedl. 
 A few years later, the Taylor sisters, Jane, Ann, 
 Mary and the rest of them, who had in 1803 
 been very successful with their ** Original Poems 
 for Infant Minds", published a volume entitled 
 ''Hymns for Infant Minds". These young women 
 in their preface acknowledge their indebtedness 
 to Dr. Watts as follows: 
 
 "The 'Divine Songs' of Dr. Watts, so beautiful, 
 and so universally admired, almost discourage, by their 
 excellence, a similar attempt; and lead the way, where 
 it appears temerity to follow. But as the narrow limits 
 to which he confined himself, excluded a number of 
 useful subjedls, the following Hymns, though with 
 much diffidence, are presented to the public." 
 
 It was not long after the T)ivine Songs rode 
 into popularity on wave after wave of editions 
 that itching fingers began to busy themselves with 
 alterations and modifications of these simple and 
 sincere verses. As early as 1720 one Cobbin, a 
 reverend doctor, conceived the idea that the work 
 would be more useful with Scripture references 
 appended to each song. So he forthwith lum- 
 bered up the little volume with voluminous foot- 
 notes of references and comments, but thanks be, 
 the dear children could skip all this dry stuff. 
 
The T)ivine and zM^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 Then later the strong theology of some of the 
 songs annoyed our good friends the Unitarians 
 and they, by the hand of one who modestly sub- 
 scribed herself on the title-page as *'A Lady'', 
 proceeded to take the starch out of some of the 
 more rigid ones, to sprinkle in a little ''probation 
 after death'' and entirely omit Song III, 'Traise 
 to God for redemption through Jesus Christ." 
 That song was a bit too Trinitarian for remod- 
 eling. Dr. Watts's delightful preface is omitted 
 and a new preface setting forth the reasons for 
 revision and alteration, is substituted. This is 
 signed "E. Y." and dated November 17, 1785. 
 
 This "Revised and Altered" form evidently 
 proved popular, as a second edition appeared in 
 1787, with an added note that "A large impres- 
 sion of the first edition of these Hymns, Revised 
 and Altered, having been favorably received by 
 the public, the editor has been encouraged to 
 give further attention to their improvement, and 
 to cause them to be printed in their present form." 
 The fair reviser was brave enough to retain Song 
 XI, "Heaven and Hell", but replaced Dr. Watts's 
 second stanza 
 
 "There is a dreadful Hell, 
 And everlasting Pains, 
 Where Sinners must with Devils dwell. 
 In Darkness, Fire, and Chains." 
 
T^he T>{vine and zMoral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 with the following, much more comforting to a 
 naughty world 
 
 "There also is a future state, 
 Of Mis'ry, grief and pain ; 
 Where wicked children long must wait, 
 And many years remain." 
 
 And in verse 4, Dr. Watts wrote 
 
 "Lest I should be cut off Today, 
 And sent t' eternal Death." 
 
 for the last line of which she has substituted 
 "And suffer after death." 
 
 In the first verse of Song XII, **The Advantages 
 of early Religion", Dr. Watts's last line reads 
 
 "The Road that leads to Hell." 
 
 and which our tender reviser changes to 
 "The Road that leads to ill." 
 
 In Song XIII, verse 5, Dr. Watts wrote 
 
 "One stroke of his almighty Rod, 
 
 Shall send young Sinners quick to Hell." 
 
 Our reviser changed the last line to read 
 
 "May send young sinners to the grave." 
 
 "Jesus who reigns above the Sky, 
 And keeps the World in Awe," 
 
 [21] 
 
The T)ivine and zM^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 are the first two lines of verse 2, Song XIV. 
 These are changed to 
 
 "Jesus tho' now above the sky, 
 Beloved by his God". 
 
 The last verse of Song XV begins 
 
 "Then let me always watch my Lips, 
 Lest I be struck to Death and Hell." 
 
 The second line is altered to 
 
 "And keep my Tongue from ill." 
 
 In verse 4 of Song XVII Dr. Watts wrote 
 
 "The Devil tempts one Mother's Son," 
 
 The revised edition reads 
 
 "Passion, and Pride, may tempt each one". 
 
 From the revised version of Song XVIII, 
 ''Against Scoffing and calling Names", the ref- 
 erence to the children who scoffed Elisha is 
 omitted by dropping out verses 4 and 5, as fol- 
 lows: 
 
 "When Children in their wanton Play, 
 
 Serv'd old Elisha so ; 
 And bid the Prophet go his Way, 
 *Go up, thou Bald-head, go'; 
 
 "God quickly stopt their wicked Breath, 
 And sent two raging Bears, 
 That tore them Limb from Limb to Death, 
 With Blood, and Groans, and Tears." 
 
 [22] 
 
The T>tvine and ^J)(Coral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 In Song XXIII, "Obedience to Parents", verse 
 3 was originally written 
 
 **What heavy Guilt upon him lies! 
 How cursed is his Name ! 
 The Ravens shall pick out his Eyes, 
 And Eagles eat the same." 
 
 has been softened to the following: 
 
 "What heavy Guilt upon him lies ! 
 How hateful is his Name ! 
 Who thus his Parents shall despise, 
 Will bring Himself to Shame." 
 
 Listed among the T)rcine Songs in the British 
 Museum are the following collateral items: ''Di- 
 vine Songs attempted in Easy Language. (A 
 sequel to Dr. Watts's divine songs for children 
 and schools.) The Rake reformed in the House 
 of Mourning. The Cottage Library of Christian 
 Knowledge etc. Vol. I.'' 1806 (?) 8°; and "A 
 Supplement to Dr. Watts's Divine Songs for the 
 use of Children, selected from various authors. 
 London." 1820 (.?) 12°. 
 
 From another source I find, "Essays adapted 
 to Dr. Watts' Divine Songs. For the instruction 
 of young people. By Rev. A. Scott. 13th edi- 
 tion. London: Printed for Thomas Tegg. i 841 . 
 Illustrated." 
 
 In an edition published in Exeter, in 1 8 1 2, 
 entitled "Dr. Watts's Hymns for Children, Re- 
 
 [^3] 
 
The TDivine and <J^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 vised and Altered, so as to render them of Gen- 
 eral Use'', the editor, who modestly signs him- 
 self "C", explains as follows: **Dr. Watts, in 
 the Preface to his Divine and Moral Songs for 
 Children, says; 'You will see here nothing that 
 savours of a party,' nevertheless it cannot be de- 
 nied, that, in several parts of these Hymns, ex- 
 pressions do occur, which are objectionable to 
 many Christians; and which, there is reason to 
 believe, the amiable and excellent Author would 
 have avoided, had he written them toward the 
 latter part of his life." Our editor then goes on 
 to state which obnoxious weeds he has uprooted 
 and what new flowers he has transplanted from 
 other gardens. Of some of the latter he says: 
 "The next five, Nos. 9 to 13, I have taken the 
 liberty of inserting from a very superior little 
 publication, entitled 'Hymns for Infant Minds'." 
 But even here our editor must have a slap at the 
 theology of the gentle ''Taylor sisters", and which 
 he does in the following terms, throwing in a 
 sop at the end to mitigate the bitter: "I cannot 
 agree with the respectable Authors in some of the 
 opinions which their Hymns express, because I 
 do not think those opinions are the doCtrine of 
 the Scriptures; but I have no hesitation in ear- 
 nestly recommending the book to all judicious 
 Parents." 
 
 [24] 
 
The TDivine and zM^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 The inscriptions of presentation and owner- 
 ship in some of the old copies of the TDivine 
 Songs are quaintly interesting. In one, printed 
 in Boston in 1759, is found on the reverse of the 
 title-page in almost illegible characters, "Bithrah 
 norton | hur buk", and then follows several 
 words entirely undecipherable. Lower down on 
 the page in a later and more readable hand is 
 written, *' Sarah Norton her | Book God Give 
 her Grace therein to look | and when the bells 
 do I for her tole Lord Jesus | Christ". . . . and 
 there the leaf is torn off. 
 
 In a London copy of 1773, which is thumbed 
 well-nigh to pieces, the fly-leaf is inscribed in 
 elaborate childish printing, ** Samuel, Hovey.| 
 Junr: & Lydia, Hovey. | Junr. our Book 
 Given | To us By the Schoolmast | er of Buxton 
 July y^ 2 1 5^ 1774''. Then on the inside of the 
 front cover there appears in a crabbed running 
 hand, "To Mehitabel | And Phebe Hovey | This 
 with our Love to you | Both for you to remem | 
 ber us by | Sam^^ Hovey | and Lydia Hovey''; 
 while near the foot of the inside of the front 
 cover is inscribed in shaky childish characters, 
 "T^t/^ S/20R/ I /itR ^oo/(^ I ^ge^ seven \ yeaRs''. 
 So this little volume bears records of what 
 seem to be three generations of lovers of these 
 old songs. 
 
 [25] 
 
T^he T)ivine and <J)(Coral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 The fly-leaf of a copy printed in London in 
 1 779 bears the inscription in bold, childishly 
 printed letters covering the whole page, ''Wil- 
 liam I shErWood | MARCh 23 | 1788". 
 
 In another copy bearing a London imprint 
 and dated 1780 is ''William Hayward his Book 
 I Drayton | October 16 1782'', all written the 
 long way of the page and apparently by a grown 
 person. Later William himself took a hand 
 and in an upper unoccupied corner scribbled 
 "William | Haywood | Drayton | Berks'*. 
 
 In another London copy, 1787, in a fine 
 feminine hand, is written "Catherine Wright | 
 her book | The Gift of the | Rev^ Dr. Priestly". 
 
 Inside the back cover of a copy printed in 
 New Haven, Conn., in 1809, is pasted a presen- 
 tation book-plate, home-made, and bearing a 
 border of vine and leaves in green, while within 
 the border is inscribed in a fine schoolmistress 
 hand, "Hannah Kendall's Book | given her by 
 her Instructress | as a reward of merit". 
 
 A Boston copy of 1818 was once "George T. 
 Read's Book | Presented to him by his Aunt 
 Eliza Read 1856 | Belfast"; doubtless Belfast, 
 Maine. But an avaricious member of the family, 
 doubtless of a later and degenerate descent, ruth- 
 lessly crossed off this inscription and wrote 
 the long way of the page and nearer its base, 
 "Charlotte Read's Book". 
 
 [26] 
 
The T)ivme and <i^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 The only record I have encountered to indi- 
 cate that the TDivine Songs was used regularly 
 as a Sunday School song-book occurs in a copy 
 dated "London 1828." Pasted on the reverse of 
 the title in this book is a label headed ''The Prot- 
 estant Dissenters' | Sunday School, | at | Christ- 
 church Meeting." This heading is followed by 
 a number of Biblical quotations beginning with 
 **Suffer little children, etc." Pasted inside the 
 back cover is a similar label similarly headed. 
 Then we find this admonition: "No scholar in 
 this School to be allowed to swear, lie, nor 
 fight; — nor to be disobedient to Masters, Par- 
 ents, or Guardians", followed by more Scrip- 
 ture texts, and finally, "Sabbath Schools are 
 of the utmost importance when judiciously con- 
 duced." 
 
 In another, a New Haven, Conn., copy, 1824, 
 on the title-page itself is written "Master George 
 and Miss S. E. Derby | from their affeftionate 
 mother | August 2^ 1826". Lower down on the 
 same page and in the same hand appears, "Suff^er 
 little children to come | unto me for of such is 
 the kingdom of Heaven". 
 
 And lastly, a modern copy containing numer- 
 ous, most delightful, colored illustrations by Mrs. 
 Arthur Gaskin, is inscribed by the artist to the 
 author of this essay — a cherished possession.

The T)ivine and <J)(Coral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 Numerous memorials and biographies of Dr. 
 Watts have been written since his death, but 
 perhaps the most elaborate and exhaustive was 
 published in London in 1 9 1 4, written by Thomas 
 Wright, the author of several other biographies 
 of notable men of the past. In this work con- 
 siderable space is devoted to a relation of the 
 environment and influence under which the Di- 
 vine and rJ)(Coral Songs were written. Mr. Wright 
 very circumstantially tells the story of a visit, 
 ''apparently in the spring of 1720", by Dr. 
 Watts to Hedingham Castle, Essex, the home 
 of Mr. Robert Ashhurst, who had married Lady 
 Abney's sister. Our author states that some of 
 the Divine and ^JWoral Songs were written there 
 during that visit. He further relates, "The pretty 
 poem 'How doth the little busy bee' was proba- 
 bly not only a kindly message to children, but 
 also a humorous compliment to the industry and 
 taste displayed by Mr. Ashhurst in restoring his 
 house.'' But alas ! in view of the fad: that at 
 least two copies of the first edition, each plainly 
 dated 171 5, are in existence, and one of which 
 I have minutely examined, our credulity is a bit 
 overtaxed by Mr. Wright's narrative; and we 
 wish he had not been so detailed and particular in 
 his description of events and circumstances that 
 could not possibly have occurred prior to or in 
 
 [28] 
 
The T>tvine and zPntoral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 connedlion with the writing of the Divine Songs. 
 We also read in the preface to the first edition 
 of 171 5, ''The greater part of this little book 
 was composed several years ago at the request of 
 a friend." 
 
 The revised edition, first published in 1785, 
 continued to appear over a long period, and as 
 late as 1803, in the (guardian of Education, is 
 found a scathing review of this emasculated 
 work. Mrs. Trimmer, the editor of the (guard- 
 ian, had previously been accused of having been 
 the reviser, but she emphatically denies all re- 
 sponsibility and unequivocally censures the edi- 
 tor for having so radically changed the theology 
 set forth by Dr. Watts in these small hymns. 
 She further remarks, "The Hosannas in Dr. 
 Watts's original work, are perfedtly agreeable to 
 Scripture, and so impressive, that we cannot recon- 
 cile ourselves to the exchange of them for Dr. 
 Clarke's. Neither can we readily part either 
 with the 'Hymn of Praise to God for Redemp- 
 tion'; or with 'The Cradle Hymn'. However, as 
 Christians, we wish not to deprive those who are 
 satisfied with this mutilated edition of the edifi- 
 cation it still affords; but let them on their side 
 allow to the children of the Church the full 
 benefit of the author's pious labours." 
 
 In this same volume is reviewed a little book 
 published by Darton & Harvey, entitled "Moral 
 
 [29] 
 
The T>ivine and <J)(Coral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 Songs for the Instrudlion and Amusement of 
 Children, intended as a companion to Dr. 
 Watts's Divine Songs, by John Oakman and 
 others." In reviewing this little w^ork, Mrs. 
 Trimmer states, ''Though Dr. Watts's Divine 
 Songs have excited many writers to imitate 
 them, they still remain unrivalled. No work of 
 the kind that we have yet met with, is worthy 
 to be compared to them, for beauty of composi- 
 tion and elegant simplicity of style." 
 
 Though a bit upsetting in chronological se- 
 quence, I cannot refrain from referring here to 
 another much later tribute by Mrs. S. C. Hall, 
 who in her ** Pilgrimages to English Shrines" 
 (Appleton, 1854), says of Dr. Watts, "But after 
 all, his popularity is based on the universal 
 knowledge of his Divine and Moral Songs; and 
 never was popularity more widely diffused, better 
 merited or produd:ive of more glorious results." 
 
 Unscrupulous publishers continued to mutilate 
 this little work, and there are also some interest- 
 ing differences between British and American edi- 
 tions. In Song V as originally published God is 
 
 praised 
 
 "That I was born on British ground." 
 
 While in some of the American editions this 
 form was retained, still as early as 1799 in the 
 Boston edition of Coverly it is changed to 
 
 "That I was born on Christian ground." 
 
 [30] 
 
The T>ivine and<J^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 In the Cambridge (U.S.) edition published by 
 the trustees of Phillips' Academy, the last line 
 of the fifth verse reads 
 
 "Teach me thy goodness to admire." 
 
 while the original reads 
 
 "Warn me to 'scape eternal fire." 
 
 The editor of this Cambridge edition fell into 
 an error in the last line of verse i, Song XVI, 
 that has persisted in many, many editions. In 
 the original this first verse reads: 
 
 "Let Dogs delight to bark and bite, 
 For God hath made them so ; 
 Let Bears and Lions growl and fight, 
 For 'tis their natures too." 
 
 The Cambridge error consisted in printing the 
 last word of the verse **to''. 
 
 In many of the modern editions the old form 
 '*that" is changed to '"which". 
 
 The learned editor in Cambridge blundered 
 in pund:uation also. In Song XV, verse i, he 
 inserted a comma in the last line after "all" 
 that quite destroys the sense; and again in the 
 last line of verse 2, Song XX, the comma in- 
 serted after **food" is worse than superfluous. 
 
 Many publishers of juvenile books drew gen- 
 erously upon the storehouse of the Divine and 
 
 [31] 
 
The T>iv{ne andz^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 <!jlfCoral Songs, In the 1781 Boston edition of 
 Janeway's **Token for Children'* are included 
 Songs XII, XIII and XIV. In "Choice Poetry" 
 published at Derby, England, in 1835, are four 
 of the T>ivtne Songs, two of the <J)(Coral Songs and 
 the Cradle Hymn. In '^Reading Made Easy'' 
 published by J. Weatherly, Berwick, about 1 820, 
 under the general heading "Lessons in Verse", 
 are printed eight of the T>ivine Songs, A num- 
 ber of editions of the New England Primer con- 
 tain selections from the same source. 
 
 Dr. Watts in his preface states that the Divine 
 and Moral Songs were intended to be sung to well- 
 known psalm tunes, but before the end of the 
 eighteenth century editions with special music 
 began to appear. In 1800 Dr. Jackson published 
 an edition wherein words and music were en- 
 graved throughout on copper plates. 
 
 Although early in the eighteenth century 
 many children's books were issued with illus- 
 trations, usually crude wood-cuts, I have been 
 unable to find an illustrated edition of the Divine 
 and Moral Songs in England earlier than 1760 
 and in America earlier than 1773. In the be- 
 ginning of the nineteenth century illustrated edi- 
 tions were more frequent, and one published in 
 London in 1823 ^^^ ^^ ornate folding frontis- 
 piece in colors. With the revival of wood en- 
 
 [32] 
 
The T>ivine and^^oral So?igs of Isaac Watts 
 
 graving between 1840 and 1850, there appeared 
 a number of elaborately illustrated editions with 
 pidtures by eminent artists. Perhaps the most 
 beautifully illustrated edition of this period was 
 that published by John Van Voorst in London. 
 This appeared in 1848 and contains thirty pic- 
 tures drawn on the wood by C.W. Cope, a.r.a, 
 and cut by John Thompson. They are definitely 
 illustrative of the text and are most daintily con- 
 ceived and executed. These illustrations were ex- 
 tensively copied in later editions by other pub- 
 lishers, particularly in America. The first issue 
 of this edition contained on page 28 the "Death 
 Print" as a tailpiece to the song ''Heaven and 
 Hell". This picture was evidently too realistic 
 and too fully illustrative of the song, so it was 
 promptly suppressed and replaced by one from 
 a now blank page farther on in the book. 
 
 The size of the T>ivine Songs has varied great- 
 ly, from the little books published by Rusher 
 of Banbury, ^yi by 2% inches, to the huge 
 volume \o% by ^yi inches, issued by Nisbet 
 and Company, London. This Nisbet edition is 
 undated, but appears to have been published be- 
 tween 1870 and 1880, and is illustrated by such 
 eminent artists as W. Holman Hunt, George Du 
 Maurier, H. K. Brown, Marcus Stone and others. 
 The pictures were reproduced by the "New 
 
The T)ivine and z^^fCoral So?2gs of Isaac Watts 
 
 Graphotype Engraving Process", apparently zinc 
 etching. As early as i 8 1 o selections from the 
 Divine Songs with illustrations were engraved on 
 copper and arranged as a broadside school piece, 
 the piftures being carefully hand-colored. These 
 ''school pieces" were large sheets, 1 9 by i 5 inches, 
 with a border of pictures and a blank space in 
 the middle in which the child wrote his ** school 
 piece" or composition. 
 
 In 1855 an edition in book form was printed 
 on cloth as an aid to durability, while in 1849 
 an edition was issued with phonetic spelling. 
 Early in the nineteenth century ''The Beggar's 
 Petition" and "The Universal Prayer" were 
 added and carried through numerous editions. 
 
 For many years following the first edition, 
 this little book of songs was of uniform size, 
 carefully printed, well sewed, and bound in full 
 calf. It was a sturdy little volume and many 
 copies of these early editions have come down 
 to us in excellent condition. 
 
 A copy of the eighth edition, 1 729, is cherished 
 by its owner for the following inscription on the 
 fly-leaf, by the hand of Dr. Watts: 
 
 "To My Dear Neece 
 Sarah Brackstone t w " 
 
 This Sarah was a daughter of Dr. Watts's sister 
 Sarah, who married a Brackstone. Later, James 
 
 [34] 
 
The T>ivine and zj)(toral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 Brackstone, a brother, to Sarah the daughter, 
 was a London printer. The fifteenth edition of 
 the Divine Songs, I739> was published by R. 
 Hett and J. Brackstone, and the sixteenth edi- 
 tion, 1740, bears Brackstone's name alone, as 
 publisher. But alas, James proved a black sheep; 
 in a letter written by Dr. Watts in 1746 to his 
 brother Enoch Watts, is the sad record that 
 James Brackstone was ejected from the church 
 for ''damning and cursing in a shocking manner" 
 his uncle Dr. Watts, and for declaring that he 
 would no longer be a member of his church. 
 
 This presentation copy evidently soon descended 
 to a younger member of the family, as on the 
 same fly-leaf that bears the inscription by Dr. 
 Watts is written in a childish hand, *'Bety Brack- 
 stone Her Book 1730'', and on the fly-leaf at 
 the back of the book appears **Bety Brackstone, 
 Her Book, God Give Grace therein to Look, 
 but wen the bel be gins to tole. Lord Jesus 
 Christ reseive her Sole. A Men.'' 
 
 In the ''English Primer" published by Mosley, 
 Derby and London, about 1825, is printed the 
 only rhyme diredled to these songs, which I have 
 discovered. It is as follows: 
 
 "What sweet-er book to me be-longs 
 Than Dr. Watts's book of Songs? 
 O! I would learn them all the day, 
 I'm sure I love them more than play. 
 
 [35] 
 
The T>ivine and ^y^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 •'When I'm grown up, — yes, quite in age, 
 Still I shall love his plea-sing page ; 
 Still I shall love the songs I sung, 
 That taught me good when I was young." 
 
 These verses, with a wood-cut above, occupy 
 the whole of page 29. The illustration is of a 
 prig of a boy in chimney-pot hat, leaning against 
 a sun-dial in a garden. In the boy's hands is the 
 precious volume which he is studiously perusing. 
 
 A comparison of the Divine Songs with other 
 portions of Dr. Watts's writings reveals in many 
 instances a correspondence in subject-matter. 
 The thought of Song XVIII, ''Against scoffing 
 and calling names'', is used as part of one of his 
 sermons; and Song XXII, ''Against pride in 
 clothes", appears in a slightly different dress in 
 another sermon. Song XXV, beginning "My 
 God who makes the sun to know", is a simpli- 
 fied rendering of one of the hymns in his larger 
 hymn book. 
 
 It is interesting to note that the T>ivine and 
 Moral Songs WQVQ not composed during Dr. Watts's 
 youth, but after he had arrived at middle life, a 
 bachelor, a student and an invalid. It would not 
 have been surprising if he had at that time lost 
 interest in children, even if he did not find their 
 company a burden. But his heart kept its youth- 
 fulness, as the sweetness and simplicity of many 
 
 [36] 
 
T^he TDivine and<JWoral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 of these songs will testify, in spite of the rigid 
 theology of others of them. And so his Michael- 
 mas summer brought up again the blossoms of 
 spring and wove therefrom a fragrant garland. 
 
 One appreciative biographer, referring to the 
 tender sentiments of the Cradle Hymn, writes: 
 ***Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber', was 
 written not by a young and loving mother bend- 
 ing over her baby whom she all but stifles with 
 kindness and kisses, but by a little weazened re- 
 tired bachelor, whose heart, however, was as 
 warm, whose ways were as gentle as those of the 
 happiest and fondest mother/* 
 
 The T>ivine and Moral Songs was not by any 
 means the only book for children written by Dr. 
 Watts. He was the author of several little cate- 
 chisms, graded from one for the smallest infants 
 to others for older children. In 1720 he pub- 
 lished "The Art of Reading and Writing English'' 
 and he also in 1725 wrote for the perusal of 
 their elders, **A Discourse on the Education of 
 Children and Youth"; while in 1728 was issued 
 his "Prayers Composed For the Use and Imi- 
 tation of Children, Suited to their different Ages 
 and their various Occasions." 
 
 Editions of the Divine Songs appeared in Dutch 
 and Welsh and one was printed in India in 
 English. 
 
 [37] 
 
T^he T)ivine and <J)(Coral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 The largest colleftion in a public library is that 
 in the British Museum where there are eighty- 
 seven specimens, the earliest being a copy of the 
 ninth edition, dated 1728. The Bodleian Li- 
 brary at Oxford has examples of thirty-three edi- 
 tions while in this country the Boston Public 
 Library and the American Antiquarian Society 
 of Worcester, Mass., each has a dozen, and the 
 library of the General Theological Seminary in 
 New York nearly as many. 
 
 And so may this little book of appreciation 
 renew, at least in a few hearts, the love and 
 memory of those dear, quaint and sometimes 
 frightful songs that contributed so much of enter- 
 tainment and joy to the lives of nearly two cen- 
 turies of English-speaking children both in the 
 old world and the new.

'bibliographical O^otes and 
 cQists of editions 
 
bibliographical D^tes 
 
 Although for several generations last past, the 
 little book which we are considering has been 
 known as the TDivine and Moral Songs, it did not 
 always bear this full title. Throughout the first 
 seventy-five years of its existence it was known 
 simply as the ''Divine Songs'', in spite of the 
 fad: that during all that time the book contained 
 "a slight specimen of Moral Songs", from two 
 in the earlier editions to the full complement of 
 seven later. I have seen no copies of the 13th, 
 1 4th or I 5th editions, but the 1 6th edition ( 1 740) 
 has the title extended by the following words: 
 ''With some additional composures", that being 
 the first title-page reference to the ^JWoral Songs 
 which I have found. No copy, issued by the reg- 
 ular publishers, so far as I have discovered, ever 
 bore the words "and Moral Songs". The first 
 occurrence of the z3)(Coral Songs in the title, which 
 I find, is in an edition issued in London in 1785, 
 under the name of "Dr. Watts's Hymns and 
 Moral Songs for the use of Children Revised and 
 
 Altered By a Lady." It is not until 1 794 that 
 
 I find the now well-known title of Divine and 
 Moral Songs. The twenty-seventh edition ( 1 795) 
 is the last one which I find bearing the number 
 of the edition, although the book continued to 
 
 C41] 
 
The T>tvtne and zM^oral Songs of Isaac Watts 
 
 be published by the same people or their succes- 
 sors at least until 1 8 2 1 . 
 
 From 1785 numerous editions appeared bearing 
 the names of other publishers and ** Printed by- 
 permission of the Proprietors/' The first edition 
 emanating in Great Britain outside of London, 
 which I have found, was printed in Welsh at 
 Caerfyrddin in 1771, and in 1776 an edition was 
 published from Salisbury in English. A few Dutch 
 items have been included in the British list. 
 
 Substantially all of the editions which have 
 come to my attention have on their title-pages 
 the quotation from Matt, xxi, 16, ''Out of the 
 mouth of babes, etc.'', but in the following list 
 of editions that quotation is indicated in the in- 
 terest of brevity, except in the first edition, by 
 a few dashes after the author's name. Where not 
 so indicated, it is not necessarily to be inferred 
 that it does not so appear, but only that the writer 
 has been unable to verify that appearance. 
 
 A date followed by a question-mark in pa- 
 rentheses indicates that the date is doubtful or 
 approximate.
