I have an old pocket hymnal that I am looking to learn more about, if you have an suggestions for how to get information.  The hymn book belonged to my adopted grandfather's mother, so it would have most likely been from the late 1800s, say 1860-1890, but that is just a guess.  It measures about 3.5"x2.5"x2" thick.  Most of the hymns are by Watts, Wesley, and Doddridge, with some by Robinson, Newton, Beddome, etc.  The print is vey smal, but I am able to read it. It appears well used and likely recovered, as there is no name on the front.  The first couple pages may be missing.  The first hymn is #3 "The Trinity" by Wesley.  Would you know anything about this hymn book and whether they ever printed a larger edition.  Thank you!

We need more information, such as the first line. We have four hymns titled "The Trinity" by Wesley.  We may or may not be able to figure out the title of the hymnal. It would be easier if you used the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page.
