BY THE SAME AUTHOR

LATIN HYMN WRITERS AND
THEIR HYMNS

A COMPANION VOLUME TO "ENGLISH HYMNS:
THEIR AUTHORS AND HISTORY."

It cites in alphabetical order the first lines of the Latin Hymns.
Under each is given a brief biographical sketch of the author,
circumstances attending the composition, and incidents in con-
nection with its use. Most of the information gathered in its
pages comes from out-of-the-way places, bringing together what
is otherwise widely scattered across the broad field of literature
in several different languages. It will be especially appreciated
by authors, editors, pastors, and teachers; by all who are inter-
ested in hymnology and the biography of the hymn writers, and
by all lovers of poetry.
