Item description from seller

Brown calf with blindstamped pattern, spine sometime replaced with smooth brown leather, original black calf title label on the replaced spine. 804 clean pp., tight. "A. Spear" in gilt on front.

This began as a private enterprise by Stow and Smith, but by the time of its publication the book had received the stap of the denomination's principal publishing house.the Psalmist holds 'the distinction of being the first hymnbook published by a national Baptist body in America.'.[It] is a large, well-organized, and comprehensive collection containing words only. Its 1,180 hymns are arranged into thirty-eight topics." - Music & Richardson, "I Will Sing the Wondrous Story", pp. 203-204.With a signed provenance card from the collection of A. Merril Smoak, Jr., DWS.…
