Break of Day in the Eighteenth Century: A History and a Specimen of its First Book of English Sacred Song is a historical and musical work written by Isaac Watts and first published in 1880. The book provides a detailed account of the development of English sacred music during the 18th century, tracing its origins from the medieval period to the present day. It also includes a collection of the earliest English sacred songs, with music and lyrics, as a sample of the genre. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and music enthusiasts interested in the history of English sacred music and its evolution over time. Watts, who was a prominent theologian and hymn writer, brings his expertise in both fields to bear in this comprehensive and insightful work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
