[1807]. Griffiths 1807/3. *John Reeves was gazetted King's Printer in 1800 and held the appointment for 29 years, until his death. Between 1801 and 1815 he issued some 25 editions of the Book of Common Prayer, each printed by others on his behalf. This edition was printed by C. Whittingham. The plates in this copy are all dated February 1807. The Companion to the Altar was printed for Scatcherd and Letterman by Rider and Webb (by assignment from T. Beecroft), and was issued 'in various sizes, so as to bind up with the different editions of the Common Prayer Book' [ref. note at foot of title page]. The Irish poet, hymnist, and lyricist Nahum Tate (1652-1715) became England's poet laureate in 1692. He is best remembered for the New Version of the Psalms of David (first published in 1696), in which he collaborated with Nicholas Brady. Tate wrote the words to a number of hymns, of which the most famous is the Christmas carol known today by its opening line 'While shepherds watched their flocks by night'. He also wrote the libretto for Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas in 1689. Nicholas Brady (1659-1726), was an Anglican clergyman and poet, also born in Ireland.
