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.
