This book is in a display case in our church as part of the 250 th anniversary of the Revolutionary War

More of my life as a librarian's husband. One thing I spent the morning with was the John Adams library, books owned by John Adams (1735-1826) which included Sacred Poetry published by Jeremy Belknap in 1820. It is a volume of the Psalms with Hymns, almost every Hymn thought imaginable. Historian Jeremy Belknap was born here in Boston during 1744 and died in Boston in 1798.
As a book collector, President John Adams did have books from the 16th century. Scott Lord
