- Description
- Sometime after this volume was used as a hymnal, it came into the possession of Andrew Reed, a New Lebanon, New York, resident. He used several of the forty-seven blank leaves that follow the hymns to record various financial transactions of which he was a part. On two pages, he recorded selling land to Roy Curch for $250, and noted payments that were made. On another page, he recorded work done for William Cramie: putting down oil cloth, roofing, fixing door. At the end of the volume are more accounts with Cramie, mentioning beer, brandy, tab, etc. Daniel Crosman collected these hymns, many of which include music written with letter notation. The hymn on p. 110, "Zion, the City of God," was written by John Newton, not by a Shaker, and it is possible that other non-Shaker hymns may be found. However, a number of the hymns are attributed to Shakers, such as Joseph Parker of Harvard.
