Thread Name: Lyr Add: The Alphabet Song variations
Subject: Lyr Add: A Bible-themed alphabet, 1777.
I have been researching Bible-themed alphabets. I will post what I have found in chronological order by publication date. Here’s the first:
From The New-England Primer: Improved For the more easy attaining the True reading of English … (Boston: John Boyle, 1777), [unpaged]
A … In Adam’s Fall
We sinned all.
B … Heaven to find,
The Bible Mind.
[etc. For the remainder of the alphabet, see the message posted by Q (Frank Staplin) on 22 Feb 05 in this thread above.]
