Lady Hymn Writers (1892) - Softcover

This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.

Hymnologt is attracting much notice at the present time, but only a student of the subject can realize how much we owe to lady hymn writers. It takes poetic feeling, fervent devotion, and religious experience to make a good hymn, and all these must be conceded to most of our women hymn writers, as we think the specimens here given will prove. Many friends have helped me by indicating sources from whence information could be gleaned, or by furnishing such information. A mong them I must name especially Mrs. C. F. A lexander, wife of theB ishop of Derry; Rev. Andrew Carter, editor of theB ritish Messenger; Rev. C. G. Reskelly of Littledean; Mr. Arthur E. Grant of Burnley; Mr. George Penn of London, who passed away while the book was in the printers hands; Miss K. Oxborrow of I pswich; Miss Birkbeck; Mr. E. J. Ensor, and others. I am also greatly indebted to the Rev. W. Garrett Horder sH ymn Lover, andS chaffs Library of Religious Poetry, for various particulars concerning hymn writers.
