Published between 1751 and 1780, Diderot's Encyclopedie represented the first serious attempt to categorize the various fields of human knowledge and activity. It grew out of the work of the philosophes (Rousseau, Voltaire, and others), who focused on human progress, especially in practical fields, as opposed to philosophical thought. Accompanying the Encyclopedie were superb copperplate engravings to illustrate the realms of human activity.

Philadelphia: Beck & Lawton, 1857. Folio (13 1/2 " X 10 1/4"). Original sheet music on 6 pages. Cover art is an original stone lithograph by Philadelphia lithographers Schnabel & Finkeldey. Francis Florentine Hagen (1815-1907) was the Moravian minister who wrote the music for this hymn, which traditionally has been performed in Moravian churches on Christmas Eve. Hagen wrote the music sometime between 1836 and 1854, but this 1857 sheet music appears to be the first published edition.
