If it is legitimate to judge from the physical evidence alone, and in this case it probably is, then George Chase's Masonic Harp was clearly the most successful and popular of all American masonic songbooks. A reasonably diligent search at almost any antiquarian book fair or used book store, at least in the eastern United States, will usually produce a copy or two. They are also still to be found in the dusty back rooms of lodges under a pile of old minute books or superannuated petitions for membership. So ubiquitous is the Masonic Harp and so substantial its residue as to give the impression that it was virtually the sole publication of its kind. Nothing could be further from the truth. A preliminary study has identified forty-four songbook publications of solely or predominantly masonic content published in the nineteenth century, and the actual total is likely significantly larger.
