The Hymns of Fanny Crosby

Many of Miss Crosby's hymns and songs have gone out into the world, though not by her intent, either anonymously or under some pseudonym. John Julian, in his "Dictionary of Hymnology," says of this questionable treatment: "The greater part are signed by a bewildering number of initials and noms de plume; including:

A.; C.; D.H.W.; F.; F.A.N.; F.C.; F.J.C.; F.J.V.A.; J.C.F.; V.; V.A.; Ella Dale; F. Crosby; F.J. Crosby; Fannie; Fannie Crosby; Fanny Van Alstyne; Jenny V.; Mrs. Jenie Glenn; Mrs. Kate Grinley; Miss V.; Miss Viola V.A.; Mrs. V.; Viola."

To this crazy-quilt list may be added, Grace J. Frances; Mrs. C.M. Wilson; Lizzie Edwards; Henrietta E. Blair; Rose Atherton; Maud Marion; Leah Carlton, and others.
