Excerpt from The Bay Psalm Book: Being a Facsimile Reprint of the First Edition, Printed by Stephen Daye at Cambridge, in New England in 1640 From a deposition made by Stephen Daye in 1655, in the suit brought by Glover's heirs against Henry Dunster, president of Harvard College, we learn that the cost of printing the seventeen hundred copies was ???33, that one hundred and sixteen reams of paper were used, valued at ???29, that the book was sold at twenty pence per copy, and that the total receipts from sales were estimated at ???141 13s. 4d., leaving a profit of ???79 13s. 4d. The new Psalm Book was adopted at once by nearly every congregation in the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, and for that reason it came to be known as the Bay Psalm Book. A revised and enlarged edition, under the title of Toe Psalms Hymns and Spiritual Songs of tbe Old and New Testament, was printed at Cambridge in 1651, in an edition of two thousand copies, and in this form it ran through many editions in New England, the latest being The Twenty-seventh Edition, printed at Boston in 1 62.
