Description: (Neale, John Mason); (Ewing, Alexander). (de Morlaix, Bernard). The Rhythm of Bernard de Morlaix, Monk of Cluny. On THE CELESTIAL COUNTRY. Translated by the Rev. J.M. Neale, D.D. Warden of Sackville College. [With Music]. New York: H.B. Durand, 1865. 12mo. 5-5/8 inches high by 4 inches wide. Limp brown cloth titled in gilt on the front cover. There is slight wear to the corners and head & tail of the spine. 24 pages plus a folding leaf of engraved music for the tune "Jerusalem the Golden" by Alexander Ewing. The text block is intact though detached from the covers. There is some occasional soiling and minor foxing with minor creases to page corners. Good. First American edition. RARE. There are no copies of this edition in WorldCat. There is a later 1867 edition published by Durand at Harvard. Alexander Ewing (1830-1895) first composed the tune for John Mason Neale's hymn "For Thee, O Dear, Dear Country" which was performed by the Aberdeen Harmonic Choir. Published as a leaflet in 1853, the music saw subsequent printings until it came to appear in 1861 as the tune to Neale's "Jerusalem the Golden". Neale's hymn, the opening lines of which read "Jerusalem the golden, / With milk and honey blest, / Beneath thy contemplation / Sink heart and voice oppressed...", appears here as the last of several hymns which Neale translated and revised. "The Celestial Country" is from Neale's translation of Bernard of Cluny's Latin verse satire "De Contemptu Mundi" and Neale's verses are here preceded by a brief preface by S. Barnabas.
