The music is presented in Law's own system of shape-note notation, which he hopes will open, at once, an improved pathway to the practice of music. This volume, though called the fourth edition on its title page, is indeed a third edition, Law having wanted the printing to seem more "up-to-date" for potential buyers.
Despite multiple printings that included, as this edition does, additions and improvements, Law's shape-note notation never quite caught on, as proponents of the approach already favored the earlier shape-note scheme devised by William Little and William Smith.
Andrew Law was among the foremost American musicians of his day, traveling throughout New England as a singing teacher and minister. He founded schools of music and singing in Philadelphia, Boston, New York, and Charleston, and earned much success with his pedagogical publications and tunebook compilations. His first edited collection of sacred tunes was the first of its time to feature American and English music in equal proportion. - Law, Andrew (1740-1821) The Musical Primer; containing the Rules of Psalmody, newly revised and improved: together, with a number of practical Lessons and Plain Tunes, designed expressly for the use of Learners.

A nice copy; clean and in very good condition (minor spotting and bleedthrough; back wrappers worn and stained).MTH-14984 $1,350More Images/InquireAn important early American method.
This attractive and scarce copy of The Musical Primer is a first edition. It was later repurposed as the second part of the compilation of pedagogical writings that Law published under the title The Art of Singing a year later in 1794.
As the Advertisement on the verso of the title page states, Andrew Law intended this little method for beginners: A book, that might be obtained with little expence, and be suitable for learners at their first setting out, has been frequently called for. Such an one [sic] is the following. The rules, comprised in it, are explained with the utmost conciseness and simplicity. If the learner, upon purusing them and practicing upon the additional lessons, and tune, finds that he is like to succeed as a singer, he may safely venture to purchase other music; if not, he may relinquish his book and his undertaking together, without much loss of time or money.
Law begins with brief introductions to diction, clefs, modes, meter, and dynamics. He then presents the keys and scales and dedicates a number of pages to reading music, focusing mostly on rhythm and meter. The method concludes with nine pages of psalm tunes set for four voices. (Psalm tunes were melodies, popular in Anglican and early American worship, used for the singing of psalm texts that had been recast in the poetic meters.) Among those tunes that Law includes are the famous Windsor melody and one entitled Litchfield -- which, in taking the spelling of the American town rather than that of the English (Lichfield), likely originated in Law's home state of Connecticut.

This copy was formerly owned by the American pianist Ernest Schelling (1876-1939), who has signed the cover in pencil and dated it 1915. Additional notation is on the inside of the front cover, apparently referring to a performance, as well as an additional remark apparently referring to a performance of a Chopin concerto with an orchestra. His stamp appears on the title page.
Schelling studied with Paderewski and was his only pupil for a period of three years. He was the first conductor of the Young People's Concerts of the New York Philharmonic in 1924 and was active for years in also taking these highly appreciated concerts, and for then a new venture, to other major cities in the United States.
