He is of opinion, that it would be most desirable that a careful selection should be made of the best translated Psalms, from many versions, which should receive the sanction of Convocation, and be admitted to general use throughout the kingdom. u Mr. Wilson remarks, that this edition differs considerably from the octavo of the same date. By mistake this book is dated 1798. It bears no name; but is be 12o. lieved to be the production of John Phillips, an Oxford man, well known for his poem of "The Splendid Shilling." It is extremely scarce. y By Mr. Carryl, created Lord Dartford by the Pretender, to whom he had been tutor. The book was printed at Paris, or at St. Germain's. By the approbations prefixed, it appears that this version was intended to supersede that in the Douay Bible, which was now considered to be too literal, as well as too antiquated for general use. The author declares his translation to be intended only for the private devotions of lay persons.

There are two varieties of title-page to the volume. One kind has a vignette: in the other a blank space is left. Some have a page of Errata at the end; which is wanting in others. The Preface fills 6 pages; a Table of the Psalms, 3 pages: three Approbations, &c. in Latin, 7 pages: the Text, p. 1-347. The volume is not a common one; Lewis states that he never could meet with it. A second edition was put forth in 1704. z From this time no notice is taken of editions of Sternhold's version; which, soon after the appearance of 8o. 12°. 12o. that by Brady and Tate, became altered into the form and language in which it is printed to this day. See however upon this point, Hawkins' History of Music, iii. p. 511, &c. a Another edition of this supplement appeared in 1708: and another (the seventh) in 1712. Both these latter are in the British Museum. b The author was father of the celebrated John and Charles Wesley.
