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

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-

copies.

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 ;^i025, to Mr. Sidney S.

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,
;^I500 being given for them together with books worth
considerable more. See Catalogue of the Library of Dr.

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

Thomas Prince to the Old South Church in Boston. In
1866 they were deposited with the rest of the collection in
the Boston Public Library. They are described in the printed

two copies of this rare book, one of which (21. 15) is com-
plete, with the exception of a slight mutilation of the ' Finis'

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

Size of leaf, seven inches (nearly) by four inches and five-

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

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.
