WATTS 322 WAUL he spent the rest of his life at the family seat of Sir Thomas Abney, Abney Park, near London. He wrote "Hymns and Spiritual Songs" (1707); "Divine and Moral Songs for the Use of Children" (1720); "A Manual of Logic" (1725); several volumes of "Sermons," besides other works of less note. As a religious poet Watts has been always widely popu- lar. His hymns are marked by religious fervor and evangelical zeal. Widely sep- arated parties have used them as man- uals of Christian devotion, and they have come home to the heart of the English common people in a way that no other de- votional lyrics, not even Wesley's or ISAAC WATTS Cowper's have done. The "Logic" of Watts was for long a widely popular book. Though not distinguished by pro- found metaphysical thought, it is yet a very able treatise. It is plain and prac- tical, vigorous and sensible, and may even yet be read with profit. The works of Watts were published in a collected form first in six then in nine volumes (Lond. 1810-1812). He died in Theobaldo, Herts, England, Nov. 25, 1748. WATTS, MARY STANBERY, an Am- erican novelist, born in Delaware county, O., in 1868.
