This book is titled songs for the Sabbath school and vestry designed, especially for the Sabbath school and concert with original and selected music edited and arranged by B. W.Williams esquire. According to the forward, it is believed that this book will meet a want, which is long been felt by the superintendence of Sabbath schools, and others who select hymns and music for children to sing. There have been two difficulties with most of the sabbath school books that have been published. First, the hymns have been too old above the comprehension of young minds. Second, the music has either been too difficult, to tame, or has been arranged so high as to be entirely beyond the reach of children’s voices.

Please check out the photos for the condition as seen in the photos. Part of the spine cover is missing and the covers show wear. I found a few pressed flowers/leaves tucked into the pages. Thanks for looking.
