passim. Hymns, in score, by Thomas Miles; 19th century. Autograph. Many of them do not follow strictly the usual form of the English hymn, the parts being sometimes written independently of each other, and occasionally even solo parts being introduced. Most of them are for 4 voices, and without accompaniment; but in many instances the bass-part has been figured. Those in this volume are taken from James Merrick's metrical version of 'The Psalms' [1766, etc.], and have an accompaniment for organ.
