The book contains a collection of psalms, which are religious hymns or poems, that were specifically pointed for chanting.

The psalms included in the book are taken from the Book of Psalms in the Bible, and are arranged in numerical order. In addition to the psalms, the book also contains a preface and an introduction that provide background information on the history of psalm chanting and the importance of proper pointing.The book was intended for use in Christian worship services, particularly those in the Anglican tradition, where psalm chanting was a common practice. The pointed psalms in the book were designed to be sung by a choir or congregation, with the musical notation indicating the appropriate melody and rhythm.Overall, The Psalter of the National Chant Book, Pointed for Chanting, is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian worship music or the practice of psalm chanting. Its clear and concise notation makes it easy to follow along with the music, and its inclusion of a wide range of psalms ensures that there is something for everyone.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
