Lyra Germanica: Hymns for the Sundays and Chief Festivals of the Christian Year. Translated from the German by Catherine Winkworth. New Edition. London: Longman, Green, Longman and Roberts. { 1858 } { 1861 }
The Preface is dated Alderley Edge, July 16th, 1855, and begins:
"The following hymns are selected from the Chevalier Bunsen's `Versuch eines allgemeinen Gesang und Gebetbuchs,' published in 1833. From the large number there given, about nine hundred, little more than one hundred have been chosen . . . . "
A footnote to this Preface, dated Nov.20th 1855, reads:
" *** In the second edition a few corrections have been made and additional verses given in some of the hymns: a few among them are however still given in an abbreviated form, where the omitted verses appeared to be decidedly inferior in merit, or to contain no new thought. I have also exchanged the former version of `Ein feste Burg' for one, as it seems to me, much superior, which I owe to the kindness of the Rev. William Gaskell."
