An edition of Stow & Smith's The Psalmist, with a Supplement by Fuller & Jeter. The Supplement was intended to make the hymnal more attractive to the Baptists of the South and West, who thought that there were too many selections in it that they did not sing, and no representation of popular Southern hymns. The Supplement removed chants contained in The Psalmist (unused in the South) and adds 106 hymns of Southern interest."The first Baptist hymnal to achieve denominational status was The Psalmist (1843), compiled by two Massachusetts pastors, Baron Stow (1801-1869) of Boston's Baldwin Place Baptist Church and Samuel F. Smith (1808-1895) of the First Baptist Church of Newton. This began as a private enterprise by Stow and Smith, but by the time of its publication the book had received the stamp 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.
