Excerpt from Christian Psalmody, in Four Parts: Comprising Dr. Watts's Psalms Abridged, Dr. Watts's Hymns Abridged, Select Hymns From Other Authors, and Select Harmony; Together With Directions for Musical Expression The general character of each psalm or hymn, as before intimated, is intended to be designated, by the tune, or tunes to which it is referred; and in applying the sym bols of expression, each passage of the psalm or hymn has been considered relatively to the prevailing character of the whole, and to the bearings of the several passages, Hence, some passages are marked differently from what they would have been fluid, the psalm or hymn to which they belong, been ofa different prevailing character, or the passages with which they stand connected required different kinds of expression.
