Description

8vo., on laid paper, dedication leaf and title mildly creased without significant loss, fore-edges somewhat dusty, wanting front and rear free (blank) endpapers; contemporary full calf, back with five raised bands ruled in gilt, boards and backstrip moderately worn and frayed, joints rubbed and split (but binding entirely sound), a good, clean copy in unrestored period binding. The 'New' English psalter, commonly known as 'Brady and Tate', was first published in 1696. It replaced the 'Old Version' by Sternhold and Hopkins, and included a number of new metres (among them 8,8,8 and a few 37 long metre renditions) not found in the Old Version or the Scottish Psalter.Nicolas Brady was Chaplain in Ordinary to the King; Nahum Tate (1652-1715), poet laureate, dramatist and adapter of other's plays (including several popular versions of Shakespeare).A well above average eighteenth century copy in worn but sound contemporary binding.
