NO excuse is needed for the issue of an enlarged edition of the old Rugby Hymn Book: but thanks are due to many without whose good will this edition would have been very incomplete. Thanks are due to The Proprietors of Hymns Ancient and Modern, from whose revised edition three Hymns by the Rev. Sir Henry W. Baker, Bart., are reprinted; and six Translations of old Hymns. H. Maxwell Lyte, Esq., for five Hymns by his grandfather, the late Rev. H. F. Lyte. The Rev. C. W. Furse, for three Hymns by the late Rev. Dr. Monsell. The Rev. F. Gurney, for three Hymns by the late Rev. J. Hampden Gurney. The Rev. N. R. Toke, an old Rugbeian, for two Hymns by his mother, the late Mrs. Toke. The Rev. Godfrey Thring, for two Hymns. Mrs. Alexander. The Right Rev. the Bishop of Bedford (Walsham How). The Rev. Lewis Hensley. |
