Excerpt from Songs of the Soul: Philosophical Moral and Devotional
The first edition of these Songs, 48 in number, was printed only for private circulation. The favourable comments made on them by the recipients of copies, united to a belief that several of them differ in kind from any hitherto published, have induced the author, after adding a second series extending the number to 100, to submit this enlarged edition to the general public.
It may startle some minds to find such subjects as light, heat, electricity, magnetism, &c., made themes of praise to the Almighty; but a little reflection ought to produce a conviction, that these are quite as legitimate topics, as many others on which the writers of hymns have loved to dwell.
