A new edition of the hymns, anthems & tunes with the ode used at the Magdalen Chapel : set for the organ, piano-forte, voice, German flute, or guitar

London: Printed for Longman & Co., No. 131 Cheapside, [1809].

One of only three copies of this edition available in institutions world-wide, this scarce book of hymns, anthems, and tunes printed in 1809 is a delight. This work is divided into two parts, featuring prayers and hymns used at Magdalen Chapel.  Fronted with a simple, unsigned engraving of "A Magdalene in uniform" holding a music book, this new edition has chords "chiefly placed for the convenience of those who do not study Thoro Bass."
