"[T]here are many subjects for which Doctor Watts has provided no hymns. To see this deficiency supplied ... the desire of many ministers and private christians; ... though not the only end of this ... volume"; "The first alphabetical order contains the Perfections of God; the second, the Characters and Titles of Christ; the third, the General Subjects"; "I deem it unnecessary to make any apology for taking many of the ... hymns from authors who differ in doctrinal sentiments from myself, and the churches with which I am connected. The hymns ... will be their own apology"--Pref. p. [iii]-vi (signed : John Dobell. Poole, Dorset, March 1st, 1806)
