In singing Psalms and Hymns, all slowness approaching to a drawl should be carefully avoided; and the Tunes should be sung, simply and distinctly, as they are written; all extemporaneous flourishes, slides, and grace- notes, as they are called, being not merely in bad taste, but wholly inadmissible in Congregational or Choral Singing.

It will be observed that all the Tunes in this Book are arranged for Treble( or Soprano), Counter- Tenor( or Contralto), Tenor, and Bass voices; the Treble and Counter- Tenor parts being on the upper Staff, and the Tenor and Bass parts on the lower Staff, of the Score.
