Review of New Mujlcal Publications. 



^fter what has been faid, it is but fair t« 

 tenumerate fome of the leading pifturcs. 



No. 6. ReprckntsTravel/cn benighted. 

 This is a candle-light fcene, previous to 

 painting which, many of our ai tifts would 

 have inl'pe^led a pifture by Schalkin, but 

 MorlanJ has confultecl a better guide, he 

 has evidenily infpciSled nature. 



From No. ii. which reprefents the 

 Jn/iJe of a Stable, Mr. J. R. Smith has 

 engraved a very fine print. The fi 

 gorts are admirably drawn, and the 

 general effeft of this piilure is a» fine as 

 Teniers. 



Nf>. 13. Reprefents "ti'ja Pigs, and is in 

 hi* very bell Ityle. 



No. 19. Is a Dead Pig — a ftrange fub^ 

 je£l for an EngUjh artilt, but it it folid, 

 and peculiarly rich in the colouring. 



No. 24.. The portrait of the Superin- 

 tendant tif a Brick-kiln (faid to be paitited 

 in twenty n.inutes) is a mo.1 f|)irited 

 (ketch. 



No. 51. The PaJJing S/:ovjcr. Simpie, 

 but chaire a.nd natural, and the (ky, cx- 

 ?6Uy as we have feen it in nature. 



1^0. j8. {s an admirable Moan-light, 



No. 66. Is a delightful piflure, com* 

 pofcd of next to nothing j indeed it is to 

 the praife of Morland that he rarely 

 crowds his canvas with unntcciTary ob« 

 je6ls. We never fee a figure to be let. 



No. 70. The High Mettled Raar, a 

 very good picture, built upon Dibden's 

 ballad. 



No, 60. Reprefents a Sheep as large ac 

 lite, and it is not eafy to conceive that 

 nature csn be reprefented in a more accu. 

 rate mirror. 



No. 62. Is a fmall view of a Slaugbter- 

 hauj'e, and the flieep, though fine a.s thofe 

 of Berghem, are not ot the fame country § 

 they are completely Englilh. 



The Britilh Inllitut.on, for the En, 

 couragement of the Fine Aits, &c. which 

 we mentioned in a former Retrofpefi, is 

 row iu a way of being ma;urcd. The 

 Society have laid out 4,500!. of the fub- 

 fcriptions aheady received in the purchafe 

 of the Shakcfpcarp Gallery in Pall-Mall j 

 fo that they v\ill, at all events, have a 

 centrical fituatinn and good Ifght, (or 

 fuch piftures as they exhibit to the infpec- 

 tion of the public. 



REVIEW OF ]SEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 



&X Englijh Canzoneti, "With an Accompatiimcnt 

 for tic Piano-Ji/rte, compofed and dedicated to 

 the i^een, by John Fcter SaUmott, Efq. 

 loj. (id. 



THIS work is of verydirtinguiftied me- 

 rit. Beauty of fancy, felicity of expref- 

 fion, and maftery of modiilatic.n are the 

 Jtadir.gcharacflerifiicsofalmofteveiy page. 

 The meaning and lentimer.t of the pocuy 

 h.is been fo fctupuloufly attended to as to 

 place Mr. Salomon very high in the rank 

 of compofers of go ;d fcnfe, as well as of 

 iine imagination, and to evince a judg- 

 ment matured nut only by the acquifuion 

 of kience but by the Itudy of \.\\c belles 

 lettres. A production fo greatly calcu- 

 lated to gratify amateurs of clear dilctrn. 

 nient and pure ta'te will, vve hope, meet 

 with kich encouragement as (o induce this 

 e.xctlent and jultiy elteemed mufici'in to 

 fpecllly oblige the public with another 

 effort of his inufe. 



A grand Sonata for the Piar.oforte ; compofed 

 by Jofepb tVoctft. 4i. 



Mr. WocHt, a recent fifitor to this 

 country, and with whole txiaordiiiary 

 powers on the piano-forte we are not un- 

 a>.quaintcd, his exhibited g cat iii^cnuity 



an;! a profundi:y of judgment In this pro- 

 dufiion. The pafiages are, for the moft 

 part, of a very original cift ; and the aux- 

 iliary fharps and flats are introduced with 

 an addrefs that argues the ino.l familiar 

 acquaintance with every intricacy of ex- 

 traneous modulation ; and though we can- 

 not aver that all the ideas are equally faf- 

 cinating, yet are they in every I'nrtance fo 

 Ikilfully dil-pla^ed and tafteiully decorated 

 as to produce a very interelfing tffe<5l, ar,d 

 convince every lefincd liearer of the rich 

 (lore of fcieiice and fdid judgment of the 

 compoftr. 



I'hree Sonatas for the Piano forte, xompofed in a 

 familiar Style, far the Impiovcmeiit of your.tr 

 Praliitioneis, and dcnicated to Mifi Frances 

 Greene, by 'Julian liujhy, 41. 



The llyle and plan of thcle fonatas are 

 explained in the tiile ; we have therefore 

 only to ("pedk of the merit ol the execution, 

 as conformable to the defign ; and, taking 

 them in this point of view, we cannot 

 but award great praili: to their yfur>g 

 autlior. He has evidently, amidll the fre>i 

 indulgence ot his fancy, ftudioully co .lult- 

 ed tlie tonveiiience of the Icarnei ; and has 

 fo fuccefofully blended the giatiiica!i«n 



of
