An important early American imprint of Isaac Watts' classic book of worship, with the Psalms being "New Testamentized." And, in this early American edition, revision of Psalms which had been translated in in a way that mingled Davidic royal language with that of the Monarchy of England. Those are here revised, de-emphasizing the "throne of God mingled with the throne of man," etc. Largely following the revision of Joel Barlow.

Watts, Isaac. The Psalms of David, Imitated in the Language of the New Testament, and Applied to the Christian State and Worship. Boston. Printed by Joseph Bumstead. 1794. 595pp. 

A good copy, bound in leather which is heavily worn as shown,generally solid, with an amateurishly re-hinged ffep. Pages are toned throughout, have some light foxing, and some minor closed tears.
