MR. LlNliEY has prefixed to this 

 excellent body of English drama- 

 tic melody a general introduction, the 

 •ubject-malter and style of which lellect 

 considerable credit on his literary judg- 

 ment and taste. The j)ublic(says Mr. L.)

hope; and, even were the search success- 

 ful, they would prove ratlier articles of 

 curiosity than souices of delight. With 

 this remark we agree ; and are pleased 

 wilh it the more, as it demonstrates the 

 necessity ofthe present work; and, while 

 it fairly sanctions this, Mr. Linlcy's as- 

 semblage of the various productions of 

 other composers, apologizes for the ad- 

 dition and commixture of his own. 

 All that his industry could discover 

 (that was good) he took; and what he 

 could not find, his ingenuity was obliged 

 to supply. He undertook a complete - 

 work, but could not render it such, 

 without filling the vacuums left by pre- 

 ceding composers. 'I'o collect what 

 they had produced, was, we grant, no 

 very arduous ellbrt ; the less so, as few 

 of the lyrics of Shakspcarc have been • 

 set twice by modern composers; and,
