Divine and Moral Songs for Children

Copp, John H.

This version Isaac Watt’s “Divine and Moral Songs for Children” was published by Flagg and Gould of Andover, Massachusetts for the American Tract Society around 1827. The bound quarto belonged to John Howard Copp (1818-1880) when he was nine years old. This is a smaller pamphlet version of Watt’s book that contained about 30 of the original 100 songs. Isaac Watts was a well-known hymn writer of the age, often called the “Father of English Hymnody,” and his most popular hymns are still sung today.
