Paul S. Newey (1885-1960) immigrated to the United States in 1906, received a B.D. degree in 1913 from the Chicago Theological Seminary and founded the Assyrian Congregational Church in Chicago in 1919 which he served until his passing in 1960. Between 1915 and 1921 he was the editor and publisher of the Assyrian American Herald, the first Assyrian newspaper in the United States. The Herald press also produced a number of smaller works over the years. This volume contains three of these: a book of poems by Yonatan Benyamin of Gugtapeh, another book of poems by Mirza Dawid Malik and a hymn book by Andrew D. Urshan. This volume is part of a series that aims at preserving Assyrian literature printed in the United States during the era of letterpress. It was inspired by the bibliographic research of J. F. Coakley who has provided the introduction to the volume.
