"James Inglis (fl. 1846-1885) served for a short time as editor of the Christian Herald (the newspaper of the Michigan Baptist Convention) and was probably associated with Tabernacle Baptist Church in Detroit, the congregation to which his book is dedicated. Some of the 383 hymns in Spiritual Songs are by the compiler, but since he did not provide author's names, it is difficult to know which ones they are." - Music & Richardson, "I Will Sing the Wondrous Story", pp. 225-226.
