*Some copies of the work have "two indexes, one on p. [iv] covering only through p. 72, and another on p. [104], covering the entire volume. The preface claims that the music, except for one piece, is 'entirely original,' a statement pertaining to the first 72 pages but not the rest. These facts suggest either: 1. that the work first appeared as a 72-page book, and that the copy described here is not the first issue; or 2. that it was planned as a 72-page book, but after printing had begun, the final 32 pages were added" (Richard Crawford in American Sacred Music Imprints, 1990). At the time Crawford was writing, only the 104-page edition had been located. Recently, a music researcher found the previously unlocated 72-page edition in the Philadelphia Free Library.
