Manchester Hymnal

A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, informally known as the Manchester Hymnal, was first published in Manchester, England, in 1840. Like the first Latter Day Saint hymnal, this hymnal is text-only; it went through many editions, lasting until 1912 (not all publications were in Manchester, England, though they were published in England until 1890)—future editions supposedly had extra hymns added,[1] but the first few had 271[2] (though there were some errors in the numbering).[3]
