Scope and content
A volume of music containing two services and three chants in the hand of the composer, Joseph Pring, who was organist of Bangor Cathedral from 1793 until his death. The two chants were written in 1791 and 1793. The title-page and index suggest that the last folio, containing eight chants, is wanting. A note by Dr A. H. Mann (see 561, below) on Pring and on the volume appears on the fly-leaf.
