  "The True Psalmody; or, the Bible Psalms the church's only manual of praise, was issued at Philadelphia in 1859 by a committee of ministers from the Reformed Presbyterian and the United Presbyterian churches of that city.  The book is a judicious compilation of the finest argumentation from a number of nineteenth-century writers."
