The Youth's Entertaining Amusement, or a Plain Guide to
Psalmody; being a collection of the most usual and necessary
tunes sung in the English Protestant Congregations in
Philadelphia, &c. in two parts, viz. Treble and Bass; with
all proper and necessary rules, adapted to the meanest
capacities. By W. Dawson, writing master and accomptant, at
the Hand and Pen, in Third-street, Philadelphia.
N.B. As several worthy gentlemen of this city have, by
subscription, encourag'd the publication of this collection
of tunes, 'tis hop'd it will meet with a general
encouragement, being calculated for the advantage and pious
recreation of youth and others.
*** Said Dawson intends an evening-school by the first of
October next, where will be taught writing, arithmetick,
vulgar and decimal, merchants accompts, navigation, gauging
and mensuration, arithmetically and instrumentally; with the
use of Gunter's sliding-rule, necessary for most tradesmen,
and others.
