[American Songbook] Eighteenth-Century American Manuscript SongbookAn intriguing manuscript songbook of psalms, hymns, anthems, dating from the final years of the 18th century, most likely from New England. On hand ruled manuscript paper, neatly penned and legible throughout. Pages 14958 and [168][169] use shape notes and are in a different hand; other entries may be in a third hand. The hymns included are mostly in four parts, but some have only the melodic line. All are identified by title, most also by text
