, who lived from 1692 to 1743, to the authorship of the poetry and music of "God Save the King. " Of Dr. Carey, his friend Jean Frederic Lampe said : " His musical instruction did not enable him to put a bass to his own ballads. " This noble anthem was made for the honor of George the Second, who otherwise received little honor from his subjects and their posterity. Such is the strange origin of the grandest patriotic song in the English language. We may learn what our American national song sh...ould be, by observing what the ancient model is in its several parts. The notes are emphatic as a chant, easily learned and distinctly sounded by many, so that the singers hear and are moved by the very words of their companions ; and this effect is aided by the shortness of the words.

It is suited to all the changes of national life, to joy or grief, to peace or war, to anxiety or triumph.
