Introduction

THEfirst edition of the Bay Psalm Book, or New

England version of the Psalms, printed by Stephen

Daye at Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1640, has

the distinction of being the first book printed in English

America.

When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620, and

founded the first permanent colony in New England, they

brought with them Henry Ainsworth's version of the

Psalms in prose and metre, with the printed tunes.-^ Thisversion was used in the church at Plymouth until 1692.

Elsewhere, the Puritan colonists of the Massachusetts Bay,

coming over in 1629 and 1630, sang the words and tunes

of Sternhold and Hopkins's Psalms, which for many years

had been published with the ordinary editions of the Eng-

lish Bible.2

1 The first edition of Ainsworth's version has the following title :

—The Book of Fsalmes : Englished both in prose and metre. With anno-

tations, opening the nvords and sentences, by conference nvith other scrip-

tures. By H. A. [With the music] Amsterdam: Giles Thorp, i6iz.

348 pp. 40. (British Museum.) Reprinted in metre in 161 8 (Lenox),

in metre in 1642 (Prince collection in Boston Public Library), in prose

and metre in 1644 (British Museum, Lenox), in metre in 1644 (Trinity

College at Cambridge), and probably later.

2 The Geneva Bible of 1569 was probably the first to have this

version bound with it. The usual title is :

— The Whole Booke ofPsalmes .- collected into English meeter by T. Sternhold, J. Hopkins, and

others . . . nvith apt notes to sing them ivithall. More than two

hundred editions between the years 1569 and 1640 are described in

the British Museum Catalogue, and it was printed and appears to have

been in use as late as 1841.

Introduction

The translation by Sternhold and Hopkins, however,

was not acceptable to many of the nonconformists. Some

of the extremists in England even called it " Hopkins his

Jigges " and " Genevah Jiggs." Cotton Mather in his

Magnalia sets forth the opinion held of it by the Puritans

of the Bay Colony in the following words : — " Tho' they

blessed God for the Religious Endeavours of them who

translated the Psalms into the Meetre usually annex'd at

the End of the Bible, yet they beheld in the Translation

so many Detractions from, Additions to, and Variations of,

not only the Text, but the very Sense of the Psalmist, that

it was an Offence unto them."

The desire for a translation which would express more

exactly the meaning of the original Hebrew led to the

undertaking of a new version, not long after the year 1636,

in which " the chief Divines in the Country, took each of

them a Portion to be Translated." Just what portions

were done by each one of the '' thirty pious and learnedMinisters" then in New England, or how many others

aided in the work, we have no means to determine. It is

related by John Josselyn,^ that when he visited Boston on

July iith, 1638, he delivered to Mr. Cotton the Teacher

of Boston church, " from Mr. Francis Quarles the poet,

the Translation of the 16, 25, 51, 88, 113, and 137.

Psalms into English Meeter, for his approbation." It is

possible that some of these contributions of Mr. Quarles

were incorporated in the new version.

The principal part of the work, we are told, was com-

mitted to Mr. Richard Mather, minister of the church in

Dorchester, who probably wrote the preface also,^ and to

Mr. Thomas Welde and Mr. John Eliot, associate minis-

ters of the church in Roxbury. " These, like the rest,"

says Cotton Mather, "were of so different a Genius for

handwriting, is among the Prince MSS. in the Boston Public Library.

Introduction

their Poetry, that Mr. Shepard of Cambridge, on the Occa-

sion addressed them to this Purpose.

" Tou Roxb'ry Poets^ keep clear of the Crime,

Of missing to give us ver^ good Rhime.

And you i?/' Dorchester, •your Verses lengthen

But with the Texts own Words, you will them strengthen.''''

It is unnecessary to repeat here the criticisms of Professor

Tyler and others on the " hopelessly unpoetical character"

of this version. Dr. William Everett aptly remarks that

the fault lay largely in the excess of reverence for the sub-

ject ; and he calls attention to the fact that John Milton

attempted to turn nine of the Psalms into EngHsh verse,

adhering as closely as possible to the original, with a result

as harsh and dry as anything in the Bay Psalm book.^

In the meantime a printing press had been brought over

to Massachusetts, while the new Psalm Book was prepar-

ing. It was mainly through the efforts of the Rev. Joseph

or Josse Glover, formerly rector of Sutton, in Surrey, that

this was accomplished. He raised funds in England and

in Holland, contributed largely himself, procured the press,

types, and paper, and engaged the printer, Stephen Daye,

under contract dated June 7, 1638. Sailing with their

respective families, and with three men servants to help

the printer, the party arrived in New England, probably in

September, 1638 ; excepting, however, Mr. Glover, who" fell sick of a feaver and dyed," either on the voyage or

just before they started.

In March, 1639, according to Winthrop, the printing

house was begun at Cambridge, the first things printed

being the Freeman's Oath^ probably on a single sheet, and

an Almanack made for New England by Mr. William

Peirce, mariner. Neither of these publications is knownto be extant.

Introduction

The next thing printed was the Psalmes newly turned

Into metre, which was finished at the press in 1640, in an

edition of seventeen hundred copies. It thus " had the

Honour," according to Thomas Prince, " of being the First

Book Printed In North America."

From a deposition made by Stephen Daye In 1655, In

the suit brought by Glover's heirs against Henry Dunster,

president of Harvard College, we learn that the cost of

printing the seventeen hundred copies was ;^33, that one

hundred and sixteen reams of paper were used, valued at

;^29, that the book was sold at twenty pence per copy,

and that the total receipts from sales were estimated at

£1^1 13^. 4^., leaving a profit of ^^79 13^. ^d.

The new Psalm Book was adopted at once by nearly

every congregation In the Colony of Massachusetts Bay,

and for that reason It came to be known as the " Bay"

Psalm Book. A revised and enlarged edition, under the

title of The Psalms Hyjiins and Spiritual Songs of the Old andNew Testament^ was printed at Cambridge In 165 1, In an

edition of two thousand copies, and in this form it ran

through many editions In New England, the latest being

" The Twenty-seventh Edition," printed at Boston in

1762.

The churches of Salem and Ipswich did not formally

adopt the new Psalm Book until 1667, In which year the

Salem church decided that " the Bay psalm book should be

made use of together with Ainsworth's." In Plymouth

Colony the use of Ainsworth was continued as before

until 1692, when the church there also agreed "to sing

the psalms now used In our neighbor churches In the

Bay."

Even In England, as Thomas Prince remarks, the book

was " by some eminent Congregations prefer'd to all

Others in their Publick Worship." Reprinted there first

in 1647, and In the revised form In 1652, It ran through

more than twenty English editions, the latest bearing the

date of 1754. In Scotland, too, at a later period, the book

[ viii]



.Introduction

was used in the Presbyterian churches to some extent, half

a dozen Scotch editions appearing between the years 1732

and 1759. These English and Scotch editions were usually

bound with Bibles of octavo size, and in that form many

of them were imported for use in New England.

After being used for upwards of a century, and running

through more than fifty editions, the Bay Psalm Book gave

way to the newer versions of Tate and Brady and of Isaac

Watts. Among others, the church in Dedham voted for

the change in 1751 ; the New North Church in Boston, in

1755; the church in Ipswich, before 1757; the First

Church in Roxbury, in 1758; and the First Church in

Boston, in 1761. In 1755, the Rev. Thomas Prince,

minister of the Old South Church in Boston, began a new

revision of the Bay Psalm Book, which was finished by

him and adopted by his congregation in 1757, the book

being published in 1758, and in a second edition in 1773.

But in 1786 the Old South Church followed in the way of

the others, and gave up Mr. Prince's Revision for Watts's

Psalms and Hymns.

Ten copies of the first edition of the Bay Psalm Book

are known to be extant. Five of these copies were at one

time in the possession of Rev. Thomas Prince, as part of

his " New England Library," and by him were bequeathed

in 1758, with his other books, to the Old South Church in

Boston, " to be kept and remain in their Public Library for

ever." After remaining in the steeple chamber of the

church for nearly one hundred years,^ three of these Psalm

Books, between the years 1850 and i860, passed into

the hands of Mr. Edward A. Crowninshield of Boston,

Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, M.D., of Boston, and Mr. George

Livermore of Cambridge. According to a memorandum

made by Dr. Justin Winsor, in August, 1871, for knowl-

1 See Catalogue of the Library of Re-v. Thomas Prince (Boston,

1846), pp. 10, 19, 41 (2 copies), and 104, for brief entries of the five

copies.

Introduction

edge of which I am indebted to Mr. Edmund M. Barton,

librarian of the American Antiquarian Society at Worcester,

the volumes were transferred to these gentlemen by the late

Lt. Governor Samuel T. Armstrong, who had joint cus-

tody of the Prince Library as one of the deacons of the

Old South Church. " He surrendered the copies to these

private hands in consideration of certain modern books

given to said library, and of the modern binding bestowed

on one or more of the copies now remaining in said

Prince Library." The record of the ten copies is as

follows :—(i) John Carter Brown Library, Providence, R. L

Perfect, but with a small portion of the blank margin of

the title-page and the lower blank margin of the leaf

of errata cut out ; in the original old calf binding, re-

backed. Size of leaf, six inches and seven-eighths by

four inches and one-half. It was first owned by Richard

Mather, one of the translators, whose autograph signature

is in several places on the fly leaves and covers. From

the Mather family it passed to the Rev. Thomas Prince,

the bookplate of whose " New England Library " is pasted

on the back of the title. By Prince it was bequeathed to

the Old South Church, in his will dated October 2, 1758,

"and from that time till i860, the book remained in the

custody of the deacons and pastors of that church. In

that year it was given by the church, through the proper

agents, to the late Nathaniel Bradstreet ShurtlefF, M.D."

On Dr. Shurtleft's death his library was offered for sale

at auction by Leonard Sz Co., Boston, November 30 to

December 2, 1875, but the Psalm Book was withdrawn

because the deacons of the Old South Church obtained an

injunction to prevent its sale. After a hearing before the

Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, the injunction wasdissolved and the book adjudged to belong to Dr. Shurtleff's

estate. It was therefore advertised again, in a four-page cir-

cular, to be sold at auction, on October 12, 1876, by Joseph

Leonard; and it was sold for ;î025, to Mr. Sidney S.

Rider of Providence, from whom it was bought by Mr.

Caleb Fiske Harris. After the death of Mr. Harris,

who was drowned in October, 1881, his collection was

placed for sale in Mr. Rider's hands, and he sold the

Psalm Books of 1640 and 1647 to the Brown Library,

;Î500 being given for them together with books worth

considerable more. See Catalogue of the Library of Dr.

(2) Mrs. Alice Gwynne Vanderbilt, New York.

Perfect. It is one of the five copies bequeathed by

Thomas Prince in 1758 to the Old South Church, from

whose collection it passed by exchange, between the years

1850 and i860, to Mr. Edward A. Crowninshield, as

related above. In the catalogue of Mr. Crowninshield's

library, announced to be sold at auction by Leonard &Co., Boston, in November, 1859, ^^ book is described

as " in the original old vellum binding." The whole

library, however, was withdrawn and sold at private sale

for ^10,000 to Mr. Henry Stevens, who took it to Lon-

don, where the Psalm Book was offered to the British

Museum for ^^150.. Its purchase not being approved,

the book was withdrawn by Mr. Stevens, and after being

rebound by F. Bedford in " dark brown crushed levant

morocco," was sold in 1868 to Mr. George Brinley of

Hartford, for 150 guineas. At the Brinley sale in March,

1879, it was bought for the late Mr. Cornelius Vander-

bilt for $1200. The statements in the Memorial History

of Boston^ vol. I (1880), and in the Catalogue of the John

Carter Brown Library, part 2 (1882), that this copy wasdestroyed in a warehouse fire in New York, not long after

its purchase by Mr. Vanderbilt, are both incorrect. Mrs.

Vanderbilt writes that the book now belongs to her, and

that it has never been injured in any fire. See Catalogue

the sale of the Fourth and concluding portion of the extensive

and valuable collection of books^ formed by the late Mr. William

Pickering., of Piccadilly., bookseller., at Sotheby & Wilkinson's

auction rooms, London, on Jan. 12, 1855, in a lot which

was catalogued as follows :—

The lot was bought by Mr. Henry Stevens for £2 i8j.

On examining the book, Mr. Stevens discovered that twelve

leaves (sheets W, X, and Y) were lacking, having been left

out by the original binder. These twelve leaves were finally

obtained from Mr. Livermore's copy, as related above, and

after being mended and re-margined, they were inserted in

this copy ; the book was rebound in red morocco by F. Bed-

ford, and was then sold by Mr. Stevens to Mr. Lenox for

which the following is an extract :" It belonged to the

Shuttleworth family, & is now handed to my daughter

Sophia S. Simpson, to be used at her own discretion, by her

beloved mother. Sarah Shuttleworth, 1844." About the

year 1872 it was bought by the late T. O. H. P. Burnham,

of the " Antique Bookstore " in Boston, not knowing at

the time exactly what it was. Years afterwards, on com-

parison by Mr. R. C. Lichtenstein with the 1640 edition

in the Public Library, it was found to be a genuine copy

of that edition. In August, 1892, it was sold to the late

Bishop John F. Hurst, of Washington, D. C, and in

February, 1903, shortly before his death, it was bought by

Messrs. Dodd, Mead & Co., from whom it passed to the

present owner.

Bodleian is perfect. It formerly belonged to Bishop

Tanner." — Cotton's Editions of the Bible (1852), p. 177.

Bishop Tanner died December 14, 1735 ; and by his will,

dated November 22, 1733, he bequeathed his manuscripts

and books to the Bodleian. " Unfortunately, when Tanner

was removing his books from Norwich to Oxford, in De-

cember, 1 73 1, by some accident in their transit (which was

made by river) they fell into the water, and were submerged

for twenty hours. The effects of this soaking are only

too evident upon very many of them. The whole of the

printed books were uniformly bound in dark green calf,

apparently about fifty years ago ; the binder's work was

well done, but unhappily all the fly-leaves, many of which

would doubtless have afforded something of interest, with

regard to the books and their former possessors, were re-

moved." — Macray's Annals of the Bodleian Library (lS6S)^

Introduction

In October, i860, It was announced in the Historical

Magazine that C. B. Richardson & Co. " have nearly ready

2ifac'simile reprint " of the Bay Psalm Book, limited to fifty

copies ; and in the November number it was stated that the

whole edition had been taken up by subscribers. The book

appeared fifteen months later, with title as below, and with

a preface by Dr. ShurtlefF, dated January, 1862, in which

we are informed that all the peculiarities of the original, in-

cluding broken type, inverted letters, and other errors, had

been reproduced exactly by the modern compositor

A Literal Reprint of the Bay Psalm Book Being the Earliest

New England Version of the Psalms and the First Book

Printed in America (Fifty Copies for Subscribers) Cambridge

Printed [at the Riverside Press] for Charles B. Richardson

New York 1862 vii pp., psalms (148) leaves, list of sub-

scribers (2) pp. 8°.

Besides the fifty copies for subscribers, Mr. Livermore

had fifteen extra copies printed on thick paper for pres-

entation, besides five copies on India paper, and one copy

on vellum. The vellum copy was retained by Mr. Liver-

more, at whose sale in 1894 it brought $']^.

In issuing the present reproduction, which is the first

one ever made in exact facsimile, the publishers have used

the copy belonging to Mr. Church, and also the copy in the

Lenox Branch of the New York Public Library. In com-

paring these two copies of the original edition side by side, it

was found that the printed matter on every page of the

Lenox copy measured a little more each way than in the

Church copy, the variation being nearly one eighth of an inch.

The difference in size, however, was not typographical,

butwas

caused merely by the shrinkage of the paper, which

in one copy had been more exposed to the air than in the

other, and was not so smooth and flat. The peculiarity re-

ferred to will be noticed in comparing the first three leaves

of the preface, reproduced from the Lenox copy in the

[xvi]



Introduction

present facsimile, with the three leaves following, repro-

duced from the Church copy. In each case the facsimiles

are the exact size of the originals. It is an interesting fact

to know that shrinkage of paper can make such a difference

in the measurement of the printed page in different copies

of the same book.
