“PREFACE TO THE NEW EDITION
     In presenting to the musical public the following enlarged and greatly improved edition of the SACRED HARP, it is but an act of simple justice to the Committee appointed by the Musical Convention which met at our residence on the 25th, 26th, and 27th of November, 1869, to state that they acted with zeal and energy like a band of Christian and scientific gentlemen who had an eye to the honor of the Christian Church and to the promotion of musical knowledge among their fellow-men. In the opinion of the Committee it was considered best to continue the 4-shape notes, as exhibited in the body of the work. For the faithful services rendered by the Committee, we hope they will accept our grateful acknowledgments.
     As an author we beg leave to return our thanks to our patrons for the great favor with which the HARP has been received a favor far exceeding our most sanguine anticipations. We have reason to trust that the present effort will merit a continuance of the same generous patronage.
     In this edition there will be found more than ONE HUNDRED pieces of music never before published, all of which have been expressly arranged for the HARP. To those who are tenacious and scrupulous ns to the different terms by which musical sounds should be expressed, allow us to say that we have carefully and earnestly studied the subject for forty-seven years, during the last twenty-seven years of which period we have been especially vigilant in seeking for musical terms more appropriate to the purpose than the four names used in this book; but candor compels us to acknowledge that our search has been unavailing. The scheme which our prolonged and laborious examination has inclined us to prefer to all others has had the sanction of the musical world for more than four hundred years; and we scarcely think that, on this subject, we can do better than abide by the advice" Ask for the old paths, and walk therein."

“ NEW APPENDIX TO THE SACRED HARP.
     The Committee appointed by ´The Southern Musical Convention of the State of Georgia,´ at its last session, to whom were referred the revision and enlargement of the SACRED HARP, beg leave to make the following report. In discharging the duties of said appointment to the best of their ability, they carefully examined the work, and corrected a few verbal and typographical errors which had escaped detection in the previous edition. In this Appendix they have introduced a large number of new compositions from the pens of the most eminent teachers and composers of vocal music. They have also displaced several pieces in the body of the work for others which they think will prove favorite compositions. In the judgment of the Committee The SACRED HARP is now fully suited to the wants of the singing public, and will meet the taste and feelings of the Southern people.
     All of which is respectfully submitted.
