I am grateful to Katharine Pantzer for kindly placing at my disposal her draft of the forthcoming revised Short Title Catalogue. In addition, Miss Pantzer has been good enough to verify my conclusions below concerning Schilders's reimposition of standing type. I also wish to thank Donald Krummel, Hugh Macdonald, Frederick Nash, and Oliver Neighbour for help in the preparation of this article.
See John Julian, A Dictionary of Hymnology (2nd ed., 1907, repr. 1957), 856-866, 1021-22; Maurice Frost, English and Scottish Psalm and Hymn Tunes c. 1543-1677 (1953), 3-50.

The three tunes are Frost 19 ('Low Dutch' in England, 'English' in Scotland); Frost 42 ('Cambridge' in England, 'London' in Scotland); and Frost 121 ('Oxford' in England, 'Old Common' in Scotland). The last had appeared in Scottish psalm books since 1564, but only as a 'proper' tune to Psalm 108; its position as a 'common' tune seems to have been established in England and recognized by East, who also originated the custom of allocating place names to common tunes.
