This lovely antique religious song book contains 224 pages, it comprises both American and foreign classical tunes, and composers such as Dykes, Hopkins, Sullivan, Barnby, and Hayne, Gospel songs and traditional hymns, and songs that were considered new in their day. The title "Winnowed Songs" uses the tern "winnowed" and it refers to the task of freeing grain of chaff by blowing or fanning with wind, this reference is made to the choosing of these religious songs in their careful selection and separation from less desirable ones.
