Excerpt from A Selection of Hymns From the Best Authors: Intended to Be an Appendix to Dr. Watt's Psalms and Hymns

The numerous Miniflers and other Bree thren to whom Ihave read or fent my Defign, have, one and all, nnanimoufly encouraged me to go forward; and after I had laid my Plan, and colleéted'great Part of my Mate rials, I was, more than ever, 'convinced that an Appendix to Dr. Watts's Hymns and Pfalms, was very generally defired, from' one End of the Kingdom to the other. For I found, that feveral Minifters in very different Counties, who were unacquainted 'with each other's Intention, had afiually begun a Work of this Kind; but, hearing that I had advan ccd pretty far in a Selection, which thould be difiinguiihed from others by an Orderly Ar rangement of Subjects they dropped their Defign, and three of them very politely. And voluntarily favored me with fnch Communica tious, as lay me under very confiderable Obligations. My grateful Acknowledgments attend Thefe my Brethren, as well as feveral other of my Friends, who have 111 different Ways generoufly contributed towards this Compilation.
