This is the first hymnal for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was put together by Emma Smith, as instructed in the Doctrine and Covenants, section 25. It contains 90 hymns. Today, the original is a very rare book, worth quite a bit of money. There have been reprintings, closer to the present (at least in the '70s), and these tend to run for about $20-30.
