nt denominations--_The
New York Observer._

Any congregation that likes to have its hymnal represent careful
thought and full culture, would do well to examine this collection
of "Carmina Sanctorum," recently published by A.S. Barnes & Co. The
editors have taken it for granted that choirs and congregations are
desiring, not revolution, but only improvement in their service
of song, i.e.--the plan is conservative, but not narrowly so. It
represents the great communion of saints of all ages and nations.
All corners of the vast hymnic field have been drawn on.--_The
Independent, New York._

"Carmina Sanctorum" contains 746 hymns, 21 doxologies, 43 chants, 450
tunes and 7 separate indexes. The hymns are only the choicest, and
they have been carefully edited by that accomplished authority in
hymnody, Dr. Hitchcock, who gives the date and authorship of each hymn
and notes all abbreviations and changes in each page. The responses
are selected from the revision and make a complete manual. The cream
of the old [tunes] is all here. The cream of the new is all here.
As The AMERICAN CHURCHES HAVE GROWN IN TASTE AND CAPACITY FOR
MUSICAL EXPRESSION IN WORSHIP, THIS BOOK SEEMS TO MEET THEIR WANTS
COMPLETELY, GIVING THEM PLENTY OF TUNES, THEY CAN AND WILL SING, AND
AT THE SAME TIME EDUCATING THEIR TASTE AND IMPROVING THEIR PUBLIC
WORSHIP. It is also a pleasant feature that when new tunes are
furnished to certain hymns, the more familiar ones will be found
on the same page. To all this may be added that four editions
are published, two with music and two without, and they are all
cheap.--_The New York Evangelist._
