From the Summit, (O.,) Beacon. 

 This is a neat volume, well printed, and well bound, containing 256 pages. It i.- 

 the best collection of temperance songs and music we have seen. Were a few copies 

 secured in every town in Ohio, in the hands of the warm-hearted friends of the Maine 

 Law, an element of power and interest would be added to temperance meetings, and 

 a stronger impulse given to the onward march of the cold water army. 



From the Temperance CJiart. 

 This -will certainly become one of the most popular temperance song books which 

 has been published in the country. We think it is, so far as we have examined, the 

 best collection of songs we have seen. Some of them are exceedingly beautiful and 

 affecting. 



From the Cleveland Commercial. 

 This is a popular Temperance Song Book, designed for the people, and should be 

 in every family. We can recommend it to the patronage of all our temperance 

 friends, as the best temperance songster, with music attached, we have seen. The 

 music in this work is set according to Harrison's Numeral System, for two reasons : 

 First, because it is so simple and scientific that all the people can easily learn 

 it. Second, it is difficult to set music in a book of this size and shape, except in 

 numerals. 



UNIVERSAL MUSICIAN. 

 By A. D. Fillmore, Author of Christian Psalmist, &c., containing all Systems 

 of Notation. New Edition, enlarged. 



The title, "Universal Musician," is adopted because the work is designed for 

 everybody. The style of expression is in common plain English, so that it may be 

 adapted to the capacities of all, instead of simply pleasing the fancy of the few, who 

 are already thoroughly versed in science and literature. 



Most of the music is written in Harrison's Numeral System of Notation, because 

 it is the most intelligible of all the different systems extant ; and is therefore better 

 adapted to the wants of community. Music would be far better understood and 

 appreciated by the people generally, if it were all written in this way. For it ia 

 more easily written, occupies less space, is more quickly learned, more clearly under- 

 stood, is less liable to be forgotten, and will answer all common purposes better than 

 any other. But the world is full of music, written in various systems, and the 

 learner should acquire a knowledge of all the principal varieties of notation, so as to 

 be able to read all music. To afford this knowledge to all, is the object of the pres- 

 ent effort. 



Poetry, which is calculated to please as well as instruct, has been carefully selected 

 from many volumes already published, and from original compositions furnished 

 expressly for this work. Much of the music is original, which is willingly submitted 

 to the ordeal of public opinion. Some of it certainly possesses some merit, if we 

 may judge from the avidity with which it is pilfered and offered to the public by 

 some, would-be, authors.
