This hymnal was printed in Lebanon, Ohio, by Nathaniel McClean, 1810.

Thomas Newport was the first Swedenborgian in the territory now Ohio…and ordained one of their Ministers.  Delighting in singing, in 1810 he compiled and caused to be printed in Lebanon, Ohio, by a ‘particular friend…’ the first American publication devoted solely to Swedenborgian Hymns.
