Author: Joseph P. Bartrum
Bartrum, Joseph P. Of this American author nothing certain is known, save that he published The Psalms newly Paraphrased for the Service of the Sanctuary, at Boston, U.S.A., in 1833, and that he is supposed to have been an Unitarian. From The Psalms, &c, the version of Psalm cvi.:—“O from these visions, dark and drear," is given in several Unitarian collections in Great Britain and America. His version of Ps. lxxxvii., "Amid the heaven of heavens," is given in Holland's Psalmists of Britain, 1843, vol. ii. p. 339, together with a critical note on his work. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
