38. On Moody, see, among other references, Day, Bush Aglow, and the two editions of the biography by his son William R. Moody, The Life of Dwight L. Moody (1900); and D. L. Moody (1930). For scholarly accounts, see Luther Allan Weigle in Dictionary of American Biography [hereafter cited as DAB], vol. 13, pp. 103–106; Herbert W. Schneider's article on religious revivals in the Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences, vol. 13, p p . 365, 366; and Bernard A. Weisberger, They Gathered at the River: The Story of the Great Revivalists and Their Impact upon Religion in America (1958), passim.

40. On the royalties from Bliss's and Sankey's joint and separate publications and on the famous Gospel Hymns (which grew out of their publications and eventually, with different collaborators, went through six principal editions) see Memoirs of Philip P. Bliss, p. 332; Day, Bush Aglow, pp. 176–177, 178; W. R. Moody, Dwight L. Moody, pp. 198–209, 418; A Dictionary of Hymnology . . . edited by John Julian (2 vols., 1957), vol. 1, p. 150; and Brown and Butterworth, Story of Hymns and Tunes, p. 418. Harris E. Starr's sketch of Bliss (in DAB, vol. 2, p. 376) incorrectly attributes Bliss's book Gospel Songs (1874) to both Bliss and Sankey, and attaches the royalties of $60,000 to that book instead of to Gospel Hymns and Sacred Songs (1875), which Bliss and Sankey jointly compiled.
