This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

(Hymns Most Perfect: An Essay on Psalmody is a beautiful r...)
Hymns Most Perfect: An Essay on Psalmody is a beautiful recall to the Book of Psalms. The Rev. Romaine shows that the Book of Psalms is the only Scriptural songbook for the Church and promotes the glory of these "hymns most perfect" so strongly that the reader is left wondering why anyone would consider singing the songs of men. The author's love for the Psalms is persuasive and infectious; his knowledge of Hebrew is insightful; his tender experience as a minister applies the whole to the reader. The book itself is a demonstration of the change that comes over a man when his perspective on life, religion and faith is moulded by these wonderful Psalms, hymns and Spiritual songs! This book was first published in 1775. Revised by the Rev. Romaine in later years, this edition is taken from the 1796 complete works of the Rev. William Romaine. The volume has undergone the most gentle editing, of a structural and cosmetic nature. Subheadings have been added and large, dense paragraphs broken up into more reasonable sizes. Where Scriptural quotations were not referenced, this has been amended. Where spellings would be wrong in modern English they have been changed, with a very few exceptions for stylistic reasons. Archaic language endings have been preserved for the beauty of the effect. This book is not scanned from an earlier copy, but a completely new type-setting.

assistant chaplain lecturer author divine
Romaine was born at Hartlepool, County Durham, on 25 September 1714 the son of a corn merchant of French Protestant descent.
He was educated at Houghton-le-Spring Royal Kepier Grammar School and Christ Church, Oxford.
Romaine was ordained as a deacon in 1736, and became curate of Loe Trenchard in Devon. He was ordained as a priest in December 1738, following which he became curate of Banstead in Surrey and Horton in Middlesex, holding both posts concurrently. In 1739 he became engaged in a bitter controversy over the views of William Warburton.
In 1741 he was appointed chaplain to the Lord Mayor of London, Daniel Lambert, who had his country house at Banstead, a post which gave him the opportunity to preach in Street Paul"s Cathedral.
In 1748 he became a lecturer at Street George Botolph Lane in the City of London, and the next year was appointed, in addition, to two lectureships at Street Dunstan-in-the-West in Fleet Street. lieutenant was in about 1748 he underwent an evangelical conversion.
He used his positions as lecturer to preach evangelical doctrine to large crowds despite the opposition of the church hierarchy. In 1750 was afforded a further opportunity to evangelise, when he was appointed assistant morning preacher at the fashionable church of Street George"s, Hanover Square in the West End of London.
In 1751 he also accepted for a short time the professorship of Astronomy at Gresham College, His biographer William Bromley Cadogan wrote that in this role, Romaine "attempted to prove, that God was best acquainted with his own works, and had given the best account of them in his own words".
From 1756, while retaining his position at Street Dunstan"s, Romaine was a curate and morning preacher at Street Olave"s in Southwark. He also acted as a travelling preacher, going as far afield as Yorkshire and the West Country, and served as one of the Countess of Huntingdon"s chaplains. In 1766, following a long dispute over his election, he became Rector of Street Andrew by the Wardrobe.
Romaine was a notable Hebrew scholar, and published a four volume revision of Marios de Calasio"s Hebrew dictionary and concordance between 1747 and 1749.
He died on July 26, 1795 and was buried in the church of Street Andrew by the Wardrobe.
