CITATION:  George Collishaw Original hymns on various subjects ..., MSS 226, Archives and Manuscripts Dept.,  Pitts Theology Library, Emory University.

The author gives his name as "Geo. Collishaw PG" and his age as seventy-four at the time the manuscript was composed.   His place of residence is unknown but a hymn by Collishaw was used in a funeral service conducted at the Independent Chapel in Melbourn, England, in October, 1833.

The volume consists of two hundred and seven pages containing one hundred and seventy six handwritten hymns with no musical arrangement.  The full title is "Original Hymns on various Subjects, chiefly composed in Scripture Expressions.  Including All the Books of the Old and New Testament."  The first twelve pages are a table of first lines arranged alphabetically.  The last four pages list Biblical chapters and verses with the corresponding hymn.  A short preface indicates that Collishaw composed the hymns for his "own Amusement and Edification; and were never intended to come into print."
