(Excerpt from French Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs: Wi...)
Excerpt from French Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs: With a Pure Prose Pronunciation, in Accordance With the Usage of the Cognate Languages, and Calculated to Induce English, German, Italian, Spanish, and All Other Learners of the French, to Join With Them in Public Worship To a superficial reader the title of this Tract car ries upon its face the evidence of its author's pre sumption. In the fulness of self-complacency, and with little respect to his neighbours, a gentleman once wrote to me, under the blind belief that the French language could say and do what it pleased, and claim an exemption from the interference of other languages. So the Emperor Nicholas says and does what he pleases, and claims an exemp tion from the interference of other Governments. His Majesty is about to learn that the Govern ments of Europe are a political family; and the above letter-writer ought to have known long ago, that the languages of Europe are a philological family: There are principles common to them all; and there are questions upon which they all have an equal right to give an opinion. Neither does the intelligence or respectability of that opin ion depend upon the place where its author was born. I once dined with the above correspondent at his own house, in a distant city. He laid before me certain bold innovations of his own upon the English grammar, though he was born and brought up in France. I gave him a respectful hearing; and my judgment of his views was formed upon their own merits, and not upon the genealogy of their advocate.

William Latta McCalla was born in Jessamine County, Kentucky, near Lexington. He was the son of Dr. Andrew and Martha (More) McCalla. He was a descendant of James McCalla, who was in Pennsylvania as early as 1732, and a grandson of William, who was a captain in the Revolutionary War. Andrew McCalla, a physician, was noted for his good works and was one of the projectors of Fayette Hospital, later the Eastern Lunatic Asylum.
William received his early education chiefly at home. Various accounts of his career say that he graduated from Transylvania University, but the records of the institution do not corroborate this statement. He studied theology privately. In 1813 he was examined by the West Lexington Presbytery but his licensure was delayed.
A strong supporter of the War of 1812, William became involved in an altercation with Rev. James Blythe, who held different political views. McCalla arraigned him before his presbytery on various charges, among them that Blythe had threatened to oppose the licensure of such a firebrand as himself. The case was referred to the Synod, and Blythe, having made some acknowledgments, was acquitted. Soon afterward, apparently, McCalla went to Ohio, for he was commissioned chaplain in the army from that state, April 29, 1816, and served until April 14, 1818. In 1819 he was settled over a Presbyterian church in Augusta, Ky. , where he remained until 1823. For the next twenty years his ministry was in or near Philadelphia, during which time he became one of the most conspicuous figures in the Presbyterian body. He was pastor of the Eighth, or Scots' Church (1824 - 35). On April 20, 1836 he assumed charge of the Fourth Church, but dissension arose because of his uncompromising preaching and strict construction of the constitution of the Church, and he and his friends withdrew and were recognized as the Assembly Church, with which he remained, except for a period of travel, until 1842. From April 16, 1850, to May 31, 1854, he was pastor of the Union Church. Intervening years were spent in travel and in serving several small Pennsylvania churches. His last years were spent in the South, where he preached in St. Louis, doing missionary work among the boatmen and slaves, and on plantations in Mississippi and Louisiana. He died and was buried in the latter state, apparently near what was then known as Bayou Bidal Church.

McCalla waged vigorous warfare with those outside his denomination. He debated the subject of eternal punishment with Abner Kneeland; on two occasions he argued publicly with Alexander Campbell over modes of baptism; and on these and other theological questions he had vigorous controversies with opponents of less prominence. A number of these debates are preserved in printed form.
Tall and of commanding presence, gifted with fluency of speech, McCalla was an effective preacher and debater. He had Scotch-Irish tenacity and pugnaciousness, and a bitter tongue which kept him in a turmoil all his life. Philadelphia was a hotbed of theological disturbance, and McCalla, a militant leader of the old-school party.
McCalla's wife, whom he married March 30, 1813, was Martha Ann, daughter of Gen. Samuel Finley of Chillicothe, Ohio.
