A feature peculiar to the book, is the division of the words into phrases, by means of commas. These marks will therefore be understood as answering this purpose, instead of fulfilling their usual prosodial function. This arrangement will tend to relieve teachers and leaders from the difficulty which has been hitherto experienced, in causing singers properly to group the words, and to take the breath in the right places.
