A volume principally containing pasted-in cuttings of one hundred and ten English hymns, apparently removed from a copy of Hymns: Selected for the Use of Sunday Schools (Bridgend: printed by William Leyshon, [1854]) (title page pasted in on f. 1), nearly all interspersed with manuscript hymn tunes in staff notation in black ink (ff. 1 verso-107 verso), followed by cuttings of a series of chants (ff. 108-114 verso) and index of first lines (ff. 115-116) taken from the same book.
The remainder of the volume contains thirteen further hymns and hymn tunes entirely in manuscript (ff. 116 verso-128) and further cuttings of printed hymns from various sources (ff. 128 verso-138 verso, versos only). Based on the name on the front cover and the book's place of publication the compiler of the volume may be John Price of Bridgend, pharmacist and teacher at Bridgend's English Wesleyan Sunday School (see Rev. Thomas Osborn, Memorials of Mr. John Price of Bridgend (London and Bridgend, 1862)). None of the cuttings appear to have text on the pasted-down sides and may therefore derive from galley proofs or other pre-publication versions of the book; no complete copy of the book has been seen by the cataloguer.
