THE CAMPBELL HYMN BOOK A Bibliographical Study by Claude ,E. S'Pflncer \ The second part of a study of the various editions and printings of the hymn book first published by Alexa,nder 'Campbell in 1828 and continued in many revisions and printings until 1882~ The first part of this study appeared in the January 1949 Discipliana. II 1834·1843 In 1834 the book was issued under the jo,int editorship of Campbell, WaltJer Scott, Barton W. Stone and John T. Johnson. Walter Scott, in the preface of the new 'book, said in part: "It is known to many of the disciples, tlhat brethren Stone and Johnson have published a hymn book: there were of course two hymn books in the field at the same time; and the result was that some preferred one and som.e the other. Hence the two hymn books were not unfrequently found in the same assembly tlOthe no small inconvenience of the disciples. As the best remedy for the evil, it was deemed most advisable by brother Campbell to make of the twain one new hymn book; and for this reason he addressed an epistle to the brethren Stone and Johnson, setting forth the inconvenience of having two hymn books, and requesting them to concur with him in the production of a new one, which should meet the exigencies of all the churches. This the brethren approved. and replied, that they deemed it a very necessary movement and one to which they now most willingly acceded."'" The Christian Hymn Book, improved, second edition, edited by Stone and John- son had been published at Georgetown, Kentucky, in 1832.t This probably was a revision of a book, The Christian Hymn compiled by 8tone and Thomas Adams in 1829, three years before the merger of the reformers and Christans. Had Scott also published a hymnal by this time? If not why was he asked to help in the clompilation of this one? He did compile a book in 1839, which was evidently the book Campbell mentions later.:!: Mr. Campbell, in telling of the combined hymn book, said that the last edition of the Stone and Johnson book had sold 3,000 copies while the fourth edition of his book had sold between 7,000 and 8,000 copies. § At this time Mr. Campbell also said, "I, t;herefore give up the sole and ex- clusive rigHt of publishing that work, and have now only 1-3 of the interest in the new book."£ Just how the financial arrangement was worked out so that Cam,pbell got one-third interest when there were four compilers is unknown. Perhaps Scott did not have a financial interest in the book or, maybe Stone and Johnson had a third share between them. Later, Mr. Campbell said, "It has been one great object with me every since we became a community, to have but one h\ymn book, as we have but one Bible ... I finally purchased the interests of all the books first used amongst us."** 1. Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs, Original and Selected, .comJ-(led by ~. Campbell, W. Scott, B. W. Stone and J. T.

There is a copy of this edition in Society archives. Since this edition was "stereotyped. from the fifth edition," ,there undoubtedly was a fifth issue. .nate unknown, 'but some time between 1835-1838. ' III. 1843-1851 Although Mr. Campbell had previously stated that the 1834 edition was perfect, no changes were needed, and no additions would be tolerated,£ in 1843 a new edition of the book was published :with the following comment from Mr. Cam,pbell, "QUI' hymn book will appear in a few days, with a second part.".:!: Then followed the reason for the issuing of the new book. It. was during the latter part of this period that competition again began to bother 'Mr. Campbell. S. W. Leonard and A. D. Filmore brought out The Christian Psalmist late in 1847 (or early 1848). This book contained music as well as words. A~~hough Mr. Campbell published the prospectus of the new book, he commented ,editorially by saying, "I would prefer to have an organ, or a fashionable choir as a means of my worship than the words of hymn set to the notes of a tune on which to fix my eyes while 'engaged in the worship of God."§ 1.

IV 1851-1864 From the late 184,O'sthrough the early 1850's Mr. Campbell frequently called attention to the fact that his hymn book was copyrighted, and that some of his com,petitors were lifting hymns and using them without his permission. He again reiterated his position in regard to the desirability of only one hymn book for the brtherhood. >I< But his competitors did more than steal a hymn or two; at least one published a complete hymn book without Mr. Camphell's knowledge or consent for he said, "I fiT,d in circulation through Missouri, a hy,m,n book labeled on the cover, Camplbell's Hymns.

We have neve'r seen a copy of this edition. Certainly since it was circulated extensively in Missouri we should be able to locate a copy in our home state. Mr. Cam,pbell, now having complete control of the book brought out a new edition copyrighted in 1851, but probably bearing an 1852 date on the title page. I have never seen a copy of this book, which, due to an error in printing, should be rather rare. Mr. Campbell said: "Yet during our absence from home, although a full and cUfnplete index of all the compositions for the book was put into the hands of a careful, and, as we thought, a very trustworthy compositor, a few compositions were left out, amongst which ;were two or three of our most favol'ite and popular songs.

(The whole story is a good subject for a graduate thesis). • The original printing of this revision was issued by H. S. Bosworth, as the lowest bidder for the job. 1. The Christian Hymnal: Revised.

All of the varous editions and printings need to be located. Total printings need to be more accurately estimated. Geographical ,distribution and use should be determined if possible. The sale of the book to otherS than Disdples would be valuable knowledge. All this in addition to research in to the quality of the hymns and their impact on the people who sang them. Then, too, a search into the authorship of the hymns could be made. We know that Campbell wrote some of them, namely: "On 'I'abor's Top the Saviour Stood"; " 'This Darkness Here, But Jesus Smiles"; "Upon the Banks of Jordan Stood"; "Come, Let us Sing the Coming Fate"; and "Jesus is Gone Above the Skies."t What ones did Scott, Stone and Johnson contribute? Were other Disciples represented.? ' My hope in preparing this incomplete study is that someone will find the task interesting enough to finish.

ABOUT THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Disciples of Christ Historical Society was organized May 5, 1941, at St. Louis, Missouri, and received the approval of the Inter- national Convention of the Disciples of'Christ which was then in session. The Society is custodian of International Convention and World Convention archives by official action of those conventions. The purpose of the Society is to maintain and further the interest of the Dis- ciples of Christ (sometimes known as Christian Church or Church of Christ) in its religious heritage, backgrounds, origins, and development. Membership is open to any individual, institution or organization that is in accord with the purpose of the Society. In 1946 the Society secured as a gift from Culver-Stockton College, the valuable Henry Barton Robison Collection of Literature Relating to the Disciples of Chrhst which contains thousands of books, periodicals, pamphlets, manuscripts and illustra~ tive materials dealing with the religious groups which grew out of the Restoration movement fostered by Abner Jones, Elias Smith, James O'Kelly, Barton W. Stone, Thomas and Alexander Campbell, Walter Scott, and other reformers of the early 19th century in America. The collection is being used as a nucleus for a comprehensive research library. The Society which became incorporated in the State of Missouri in 1946 main- tains its headquarters at Canton, Missouri, where authors and publishers are asked to send copies of all new publications. Churches aI:e requested to place the Society on their mailing lists to receive orders of worship, papers, reports, yearbQoks and other printed records. Gifts and bequests from individuals are especially welcome. Classes of membership are as follows: Individual member, per calendar year $1.00. Individual founding member, $1.00 per year from 1941. Individual life member, one payment $25.00. Institutional member, per calendar year $15.00. Local church member, per calendar year $12.00. Institutional membership is offered to educational institutions and other organizations including state hoards and national agencies. Local churches should tak~ advantage of the opportunity to share in the work of the Society by becoming members.. The local church dues include individual mem- berships for the minister and one layman. Subscriptions to DISCIPLIANA, gifts for the Society, payment of dues, and inquiries concerning the work of the Society should be sent to: Claude E.

THE CAMPBELL HY MN BOOK A Bibliographical Study by Claude E. Spencer

This fifth part of a study of the Campbell hymnbook deals with hymnals of the Christian church previous to 1828 and with books issued in competition to Mr. Camp- bell's ,book.

Appendix I. Christian Church Hymns. Mr. Campbell was not the first of the American reformers to issue a hymn book. Men connected with the Christian church, often called "Christian conexion," and some times "new lights," published hymn books as early as 1805. Some of these were compiled by Abner Jones, Elias Smith, Joseph Thomas, James O'kelly, Rice Haggard, David Millard and Joseph Badger. I have been unable to locate any accurate bibliographical description except for .these three.

1. SMITH, ELIAS, 1796-1846 A Collection of Hymns, for the Use of Christians, 4th ed. Port- land, Me., Published and sold at the Herald Printing Office and Book Stores, John P. Colcord, printer, 1811. 36 p. • An earlier edition was published in 1805.

2. THOMAS, JOSEPH, 1791-1835 (THE WHITE PILGRIM) The Pilgrim's Hymn Book, Offered as a Companion to All Zion Travelers. Winchester, Va., 1817. 216 p. An earlier edition was published in 1815.

3. THOMSON, JOHN and others, ed. The Christian hymn book. 3rd ed. Cincinnati, Looker and Wal- lace, printers, 1815. . 256 p. According to the American Imprints Inventory, no. 17, A Check List of Ohio Imprints, 1796-1820, an earlier edition had been published at Dayton, Ohio, in 1810, of which there are no located copies. Co-compilers were David Purviance, Samuel Websterfield, William Snodgrass, and William McClure. Probably the only located copy of the 1815 printing is in DCHS archives. II. Hymn Books Issued in Competition With Mr. Campbell's Book, 1832-1882 In addition' to the Stone and Johnson book issued in 1832* and called the Christian Hymn Bookt and Walter Scott's book, both previously mentioned (section II, 1834-1843) copies of which are unlocated today, there were the following: 1.

Fillmore, and Prof. T. Harrison for assistance. The book was the result of a committee being appointed from the Annual Meeting of the Churches of Tennessee in 1850. 5. The Christian Sunday-School Hymn Book was published in 1850 by the Christian Tract Society. The corresponding secretary said, "We have ... published a hymn book which meets with a ready sale ... This is the only book we have been able to publish for want of funds.":j: The book went into several editions. We have this one in our archives: The Christian Sunday-School Hymn Book: Designed fOr Sunday-Schools and Families. Cincinnati, Published by H. S. Bosworth, 1860. 128 p.

POSTMASTER-If undeliverable, notify us on Form 3578 " ~, , , ABOUT THE DISCIPLES of CHRIST HISTORICAL SOCIETY Tl!e Disciples of Christ Historical Society was organized May 5, 1941, at St. Louis, Missouri, and received the approval of the Inter- national Convention of the Disciples of. Christ which was thep in session. The Society is custodian of-International Convention and World Convention archives by official action of those. conventions. The purpose of the Society is to maintain and further the interest of the Dis- ciples of' Christ (sometimes known as Christian Church or Church of Christ) in its religious heritage, backgrounds, origins, and development. Membership is open to any individual, institution or organization that is in ac- cor-d with the purpose of the Society. In 1946 the Society secured as a gift from Culver-Stockton College, the valuaLle He;ry Barton Robison Collection of Literature Relating to the Disciples of Chri::st which contains thousands of books, periodicals, pamphlets, manuscripts and illustra· tive'-materials dealing with the religious groups which grew out of the Restoratioll movement fostered by Abner Jones, Elias Smith, James O'Kelly, Barton W. Stone, Thomas and Alexander Campbell, Walter Scott, and other reformers of the early 19th century in America. The collection is being used as a nucleus for a compre~ensive research library. The Society which became incorporated in the State of Missouri in 1946 main- tains its headquarters at Canton, Missouri, where authors and publishers are asked to send copies of all new publications. Churches are requested to place the Society on their mailing lists to receive orders of worship, papers, reports, yearbooks and other printed records. Gifts and bequests from indiVIduals are especially welcome. Classes of membership are as follows: Individual member, per calendar year $1.00. Individual founding member, $1.00 per year from 1941. Individual life member, one payment $25.00. Institutional member, per calendar year $15.00. Local church member, per calendar year $12.00. Institutional membership is offered to educational institutions and other organizations including state 'boards and national agencies.' , , Local churches should take advantage of the opportunity to share in the work of the Eociety by becoming members .. The local church dues include individual me~- berships for the minister and one layman.
