The first book printed in British North America, commonly known as
the Bay Psalm Book. Translated by Richard Mather, John Eliot, and
Thomas Weld, among others. The preface is usually attributed to
Mather, but this is disputed by Zoltan Haraszti, who attributes it
to John Cotton. Cf. Haraszti's The enigma of the Bay Psalm book,
1956, p. 12-27. Printed at the press in Cambridge, Mass.,
supervised by Stephen Day (variously Daye). Day's son Matthew may
have been responsible for the actual printing.
