Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 7: A Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, Artists, Antiquaries, Genealogists, Etc.; January-June, 1859

Metrical psalms and metrical hymns are not to be classed together, and although Dr. Richard Watson inveighed against the sacrilegious use of metrical psalms, and John Muirhead and others have written sharply on the metrical alter of Isaac Watts, no scholar has denounced t e use of the hymn. The celebrated Keach and Marlowe controversy was rather a question who should sing, than what should be sung; and although Bradbery, when compelled to use Watta's hymns against his inclination, insisted on announcing Let us sing one of Dr. Watta's whims, it was the dislike rather to the specimen than the genus. The history of British psalmists has been well done by Mr. Holland, but as yet there is no history of English h mus, for the little work by Mr. Gadsby can har y claim that distinction.
