Silas H. Paine collection on hymnody, 1753-1891.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86139476

The collection is mainly comprised of eighteen scrapbooks compiled by Silas H. Paine. The scrapbooks contain sacred poetry and articles pertaining to hymnology taken from numerous publications, including London Magazine, Universal Magazine, Methodist Magazine, Arminian Magazine, and Evangelical Magazine, as well as many actual hymns. Each of these scrapbooks is carefully indexed by Paine. Also in the collection is a manuscript of "Hymn Incidents," which appears to be the preliminary manuscript of a book of hymns published by Paine in the mid-1920's. Of further interest may be the inclusion of numerous engraved portraits of various clergy, including John Wesley, in the back of the volume entitled "Annotations on Laudes Domini & C. B."
